SocialServiceHumanRelationsBoard | 2022-05-26 | 2 | Ms. Irvine stated that there is a lack of data from COVID-19 years, and wanted to know if SSHRB has experienced the same. Board Member Green confirmed that she has run into the same issue and plans to use the most recent data available. Ms. Irvine responded to Board member Yamashiro-Omi concern surrounding the immigration population, stating it is difficult to get data past 2018. She will share available data on Alameda County, which lists country of origin. Board member Means said that the Individualized Education Plan (IEP) indicator may be problematic, as the number of children is merely a total, and does not account for the severity of each learning disability. Board member Yamashiro-Omi asked if there is a data source for number of minority-owned, woman-owned businesses. Stating it will be difficult to have a conversation/develop a strategy about inequity without having relevant data. Board member Green stated that SSHRB will be looking to the City to assist with this indicator. President Lewis stated that she is hesitant to remove indicators as they are all important, and tell their own story. Emphasizing that SSHRB is setting the stage and the overall goal is to understand the context. President Lewis suggested replacing the officer per capita with another indicator regarding overall safety. Board member Means suggested consolidating some of the homeless information and adding accessible housing stock availability. President Lewis asked the Board if there was anything missing. Board member Yamashiro-Omi highlighted the community concern surround transportation and asked if there is a data source which would help show the lack of public transit. Board member Green shared some of the reports which provide transportation data and agreed it would be an essential indicator to add. Board member Yamashiro-Omi mentioned her concern regarding the lack of indicators within the social connection category. Board member Green stated there is a very little data available and suggests this is a topic for the focus groups. President Lewis addressed the Board, asking for input on the potential next steps. Board member Green stated the next step is to gather all of the data collected, put into charts and graphs for SSHRB to review, and review at the next SSHRB meeting. Ms. Irvine suggested the Board reviews what other cities have determined to be the most important measuring indicators. Board member Means and Jagannathan recommended looking at Portland's eight domains for age-friendly cities; and A Life Course Framework by Andrew Chandler. Board members confirmed aiming for July timeline. 5-B Continue the Discussion of SSHRB'S Homelessness Activities President Lewis opened the discussion by sharing her thoughts regarding SSHRB's role as "public educator," highlighting the need to correct misinformation about what it means to be homeless - focusing on humanizing the issue so people are not afraid. Board member Green asked if the Point-In-Time (PIT) count has been released, and if there are any upcoming public events or activities around the released information. Staff member Butler stated that the PIT data was released by Everyone Home on May 16, 2022. The City does not have any planned events. | SocialServiceHumanRelationsBoard/2022-05-26.pdf |
