The JOM Needs Assessment Survey is now online. This annual assessment is conducted every year. Please take this survey if you have not done so yet. Each parent or guardian can complete it. One survey per household is required for Johnson O’Malley (JOM) services, including school supplies. Completed questionnaires will be sent to the JOM coordinator's email address.
