Equity
A central focus of CORE is uncovering and addressing root causes of inequities to advance the CORE Conditions of Health and Well-Being. Programs were asked to report on how their organization promoted equity:
  • 40 programs (70%) provided work trainings on topics such as:
    • Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI)
    • Cultural Awareness
    • Internal Bias
  • 23 programs (40%) reported on the accessibility of their services. This included culturally responsive program material, language services including Mixteco, and having staff reflective of the communities they serve such as bilingual, bicultural, lived experience, and diverse gender identities.
Next Steps
HSD staff will continue to work closely with funded organizations and assist them in meeting their goals:
  • Explore how to best assist programs with data collection and implementing program services based off the reported challenges.
  • Explore resources within the county and in the community for trainings and learning sessions for CORE programs.
  • Plan on how to best gather information from CORE programs in this final year of the current funding cycle, to enhance CORE and the commitment to continuous quality improvement.
  • Collect and aggregate data from programs through semi-annual and annual reporting, focused on the collective of CORE programs and the RBA framework outcome measures.
