Needs and Uses: This information collection through the Family Needs Assessment (FNA) is necessary to assist EFMP Family Support staff in identifying the needs of families and developing plans of action. The Family Services Plan Addendum allows EFMP Family Support staff and families to track identified steps in addressing their needs and goals.

The EFMP FNA addresses current differences in assessment processes and inconsistent transfer of cases across the Services. With this standardized form, installation-level EFMP Family Support Offices can provide a family support experience that is consistent across the Services and maintains continuity of services when military families with special needs have Permanent Change of Station (PCS) orders to a joint base or sister-Service location.
