Appendix • Build capacity within disadvantaged/vulnerable/historically underserved communities to empower them to co - lead, navigate and participate in planning and policy processes. This can be achieved by: o Contracting with local, community-based organizations in low-income communities and communities of color to conduct engagement processes. o Partnering with and funding equity -focused community-based organizations to train participating residents from low-income communities and communities of color in the content and skills they will need to exercise informed leaderships.$z,ss • Promote Community Based Participatory Research (CBPR) principles in data collection and mapping of neighborhood existing conditions.84 Measuring Success Community planning for sustainability requires establishing measurable standards for diligent implementation. Defined assessment standards such as the Envision Rating System or STAR Community Rating System enhance the success, progress, and opportunities for any plan. The current CAP acknowledges the value of continuously updating the implementation matrix and the monitoring tool: both are critical for implementation and transparency. Including more holistic measures like those used by the STAR Community Rating and Envision Rating may enhance the CAP's current evaluation metrics. Measure review should also include both quantitative and qualitative performance measures. D.2 Health Policy and Planning Recommended Best Practices for Measure Review • Identify SMART (Specific, Measurable, Agreed Upon, Realistic, Time -Bound) goals to accurately track and measure goals and deliverables. o Effectively communicate and share information with county/municipal agencies and stakeholders. • Use tools (e.g., checklists, health impact assessments, etc.) to evaluate and identify challenges and potential solutions. o Identify implementation priority areas based on equitable vulnerability practices/assessments. o Routinely conduct pre/post evaluations. • Practice accountability (in the form of regular progress reports and meetings with interested stakeholders), consulting with experts and community. o Produce annual progress reports and ensure reports are accessible to communities. o Clearly identify and communicate action plan methodologies, performance measures, timelines, and leads. o Assess changes and updates on a yearly basis, both for the plan and the relevant areas. • Measure benefits and impacts in low-income and other vulnerable communities. o Ensure that updates and investments benefit existing and future residents. o Include displacement risk of existing residents in measure criteria. o Prioritize implementation of goals and actions in areas that are most affected.
