Community Steering Committee

The Community Steering Committee is highly valued under the HIA process. Members inform the HIA process by identifying current challenges faced in the neighborhood of Little Havana, and how the health of residents may be impacted by these issues. By incorporating feedback from both committees, this collaborative and differential approach provides decision-makers with a balanced perspective, increasing the likelihood of policy development dependent on HIA findings.

MEMBERSHIP IN THE COMMUNITY STEERING COMMITTEE

The Community Steering Committee members are selected as representatives of the local community that can best reflect on some of the most pressing issues facing the Little Havana community. Commitments for the Community Steering Committee are to actively attend three (3) meetings to discuss and provide feedback on the progress of the HIA. The Community Committee will be convening on the following dates:

• February 17th, 2020

• May 22nd, 2020

• June 25th, 2020

Currently, there are nearly ten members of the Community Steering Committee engaged in HIA-1 on T-4 Density. If you are interested in joining the Community Steering Committee, please contact the Community Liaison Coordinator, Alejandro Garcia at alex@healthylittlehavana.org.
