This equity self-assessment aims to help agencies determine how effectively they are supporting communities of greatest social need (GSN). It also aims to aid in identifying areas of growth. To get started, mark the boxes next to the actions your agency or team is taking to be more inclusive to this range of service recipients. Please note that this is not an all-encompassing list of items necessary to serve GSN clients in your communities.
This Equity Assessment by Trellis and SDK Comunications + Consulting provides a compelling snapshot of the ways different systems of inequity come together to create inequities for Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC) elders aging in their communities. A lifetime of inequities in income and housing stability lead to inequities in aging at home. A lifetime of inequities in employment and income lead to inequities in elders’ retirement income or ability to retire, as well as access to healthcare services.
