Inclusive Community Engagement

Our Loss & Recovery Project supports overall community recovery & resilience through deeper and more inclusive community engagement. While we maximize the innovations available through new technologies such as interactive mapping and text-based chats, we also bridge the digital divide through traditional neighborhood canvassing with paper surveys and participation incentives, one-on-one interviews, and tabling at events. 

Over the last two years, FRC has supported a number of critical planning efforts, including Rogue Reimagined, Envision Bear Creek, our post-fire community Needs Assessment, and the rezoning effort of the  Highway 99 Transportation Growth Management Plan. Our team has been able to increase civic engagement with historically underrepresented and marginalized populations, and deepen the collaborative possibilities between public, private and nonprofit organizations.

By including our community and leveraging our relationships with the community to provide vital qualitative and quantitative feedback, our goal is to expedite engagement for agencies weighing how best to spend recovery dollars and inform a more holistic and equitable recovery and preparedness pipeline.
