Human Services
The Town supports nonprofit organizations that deliver vital community programs and services. The program’s overarching goal is to achieve economic and social well-being and opportunities to thrive for all Carrboro residents, particularly those who are low-income or otherwise disenfranchised. The program supports initiatives that improve education, livelihood security, and health outcomes for Carrboro residents.
Racial Equity Update
Consistent with the adopted One Orange Countywide Racial Equity Framework, over the past year the following steps have been taken to further center racial equity in the Human Services Program. For more information on One Orange Countywide Racial Equity Framework visit https://chapelhill.legistar.com/LegislationDetail.aspx?ID=5390141&GUID=E4E7D69C-ABDA-4398-8CC3-5DA89ED1E78F&Options=ID|Text|&Search=%22one+orange%22
- Added Racial Equity questions to the funding Application
- Conducted Government Alliance on Race and Equity (GARE) training for Human Services Boards and Commissions. For more information on GARE training visit https://www.racialequityalliance.org/
In addition, the Towns of Carrboro and Chapel Hill have collaboratively completed a Racial Equity Assessment of the Human Services Program. During this fiscal year, the key findings and recommendations from the assessment will be reviewed and refined by the Towns’ Human Services Advisory Boards/Commissions, Racial Equity Teams/Commission, and program participants. Based on this feedback, the staffs of both towns will implement changes related to the application process, funding, decision making, training, and data collection.
The ultimate goal is to no longer see disparities based on race and improve results for all. Carrboro will continue to work together with the other local governments in Orange County to enhance the Human Services Program and to center equity and inclusion.
