RECOMMENDATION #22

Develop and implement a process that considers equity as a factor when deciding future public investment strategies, including an updated designation of targeted neighborhoods.

Staff will work to develop a framework to identify targeted neighborhoods for future engagement and reinvestment efforts. Targeted neighborhoods must have at least 50 percent of their population as low-to-moderate income households. The framework process to identify targeted neighborhoods will utilize current data and can consider poverty rates, crime rates, code enforcement rates, health indexes, neighborhood age, population density, and percent of historically undeserved population living in neighborhoods. Proposed targeted neighborhoods will then be presented to City Council for adoption.

Status: Ongoing

Planned Actions:

• The Housing Strategy Plan has been finalized and city staff are working on updating the targeted neighborhood designation.
