Editor's Notes

  • #11 Fresno Food and shelterZIP code 93710
  • #20 2nd – Now that you’ve explored data for your org/network to demonstrate need across CA. You are now planning to organize legislative visits for your organization and network members. One key area you know you want to focus on is Alameda county, where you have key orgs in the network who can support advocacy in the area as well as data to demonstrate the need for funding to support youth violence prevention. Therefore, your next step would be to drill down to Alameda county, to find additional data that might be helpful and persuasive to lawmakers (might help them make the case for more/priority funding as well)
  • #25 Look at homicide by Firearms to demonstrate exposure to violence within communities.
  • #35 You might also want to assess types of resources or gaps in resources that exist within this area of high need.
  • #43 In order to provide funders with information about the number and geographic location of participants in the program, SLABBC could upload their participant data, and view it along with other data available on HealthyCity.org
