Invest in Community-Embedded and Regional Engagement Infrastructure. The state can strengthen resilience outcomes by directly funding trusted community-based and Tribal organizations as long-term partners, rather than relying on external consultants or one-off contracts. Supporting regional and subregional engagement structures—such as collaboratives or networks—helps ensure consistent frontline, Tribal, and rural participation across jurisdictions, improving trust, access, and program effectiveness.
