Human Animal Support Services (HASS) Releases Community Values Survey Results

Administered to approximately 2,500 people across nine U.S. communities by the Human Animal Support Services Data & Research team, the Community Values Survey results indicate that local governments and service agencies should focus their efforts in three main areas within their communities: pet ownership support, increased funding within animal welfare, and prioritizing keeping people and pets together!

Thanks Heather! I went to the HASS site to read the study and did a search for "Community Values Survey" but could not find the survey, just a page (https://www.humananimalsupportservices.org/press-release/human-animal-support-services-hass-releases-community-values-survey-results/) summarizing. Has the study and results been published and if so, where can we find that to read more about it?
THank you for all you do for our animals!

I am interested in seeing the survey results, but couldn't find them on the HASS page.  I want familiar with the acronym HASS, but I now think that describes my focus area. I am a volunteer for a rescue organization, but my focus is on the operation of a community pet food bank in central New Mexico.  Our goal is to keep pets and people together.  It's better for pets (keeps them out of shelters) and their people ( get to enjoy positive benefits of pet ownership).  Food anxiety and insecurity are rising leading to increased use of our pet food bank.  Demand sometimes outpaces incoming pet food, leading to bare shelves.  I've been trying to secure funds and/or in kind donations from a variety of sources and I think some of this survey data could help me make my case.
