Hi All,
I work for Fairfax County, VA in the One Fairfax office (our equity and social justice group). I have created different web applications to display vulnerabilities (see our Vulnerability Index). I think we have a handle on vulnerable populations – where to get the data, how to display it, etc. I have been using the Tacoma Equity Index and Seattle Growth and Equity as guides in creating resources for county staff. I would like to start identifying opportunities and access to opportunities. Does anyone have recommendations are a methodology to use around identifying access to opportunities? Access can mean physical proximity (within ¼ mile walking distance of a library) and/or feeling welcomed to take advantage of the opportunity. A library could be physically located near a vulnerable population, but what other attributes does the library need to have to really be accessible like programming/material in different languages.
