Community Assets
Residents identified community assets 189 times in the survey, with 100 distinct named assets in the community
providing valued support. Community infrastructure such as community gardens, walking trails, arts programs, health
fairs, vaccine clinics, community groups, and culturally relevant programs were all mentioned as assets. The Community
Perspectives Survey offered hope for a community that wants to see all members enabled to access the services they
need. Our community members envision a place where barriers to health are removed, and people can get the help
they need. They also expressed desire for a community that affirms the dignity of all our neighbors and takes care of the
most vulnerable. In the words of one resident, “I have and choose to maintain hope for myself and my community. Even
if things aren’t going well, I will always choose to get back up again and keep moving towards hope.”
