Health Assessment and Research for Communities

Help Bring Data that Strengthens Our Community

HARC is a nonprofit research organization dedicated to improving the quality of life in the Coachella Valley. For more than two decades, we have provided accurate, objective data that helps community leaders, nonprofits, healthcare providers, and funders understand local needs and make informed decisions.

Our work ensures that critical conversations about health, housing, food security, mental health, air quality, and economic stability are grounded in facts — not assumptions.

The recently released 2025 Community Health Survey reflects the voices of more than 2,500 residents and continues to inform funding decisions, strategic planning, and policy discussions across the region.

But the survey is only one part of what we do.

Behind every dataset, report, presentation, and community training is a small team working year-round to collect, analyze, interpret, and share information that helps our region thrive.
