About the Program

The County Operations Portfolio is deeply committed to advancing equity, ensuring that ARPA recovery funding is deployed in a manner that strives for fair outcomes and opportunities across all groups and targets communities and resources in need. This approach is guided by the County's Equity Framework, which applies an equity lens to ARPA investments. The framework focuses on reversing pandemic-related disparities in health, economic, and housing outcomes, building equity capacity within the county government, and measuring racial and ethnic disparities.
