The Lane Livability Consortium has identified a number of ways our region can improve public participation methods in general and specifically for marginalized communities. The Baseline Assessment specifically recommends the development of a peer-to-peer working group on public participation, development of resources to help with reaching marginalized communities, and exploration of more comprehensive needs assessments. A number of concerns have been identified related specifically to members of the Latino community, which primarily center on perceptions of insecurity and community belonging as well as concerns about access to quality affordable housing, transportation, parks, health services, and community gardening spaces.
