<br />economic, and cultural rights. Providing adequate access to employment, food, housing, clothing, recreational opportunities, a safe and
<br />healthy environment and social services. Eliminating systemic barriers to equitable treatment and inclusion, and accommodating to differences

<br />
<br />Goal/outcome
<br />: It is our priority to support an equitable and adequate social system with access to employment, food, housing, clothing,
<br />education, recreational opportunities, a safe and healthy environment and social services, as well as to provide equal access to services and
<br />avoid negative impact for all people regardless of age, economic status, ability, immigration or citizenship status, race/ethnicity, gender,
<br />relationship status, religion, or sexual orientation. Equal opportunities for all people are sought. A community in which basic human rights is
<br />addressed, basic human needs are met, and all people have access to tools and resources to develop their capacity. This tool will help
<br />indentify how the proposal affects community members and if there is a difference in how the decisions affect one or more social groups in the
<br />community. Areas of consideration in creating a vibrant socially equitable Eugene are: basic needs, inclusion, community safety, culture
<br />neighborhoods, and advancing social equity.
