Expand compensation for community reps (stipends, childcare, transportation) to reduce barriers to participation
Challenge/Local/State
Priority Area: Meaningful Engagement and Community-driven Decisions
Description
Local Solution
(Type of Activity: Community Program Implementation )
Existing Examples of Progress: Resident stipends through re-granted funds: One foundational partner redirected part of a $10,000 and $3,000 micro-grant into direct stipends for residents. This ensured more grassroots voices were included, though it reduced CBO staff participation in long-term feedback loops.
