Equity Impact Awareness Tool for COVID-19
quarantine and recovery sites
In response to community concerns, the Office of Equity and Social Justice partnered with Headwater People to create an Equity Impact Awareness Tool to guide and support King County Facilities and Maintenance Division and Real Estate Services as they are reviewing and recommending potential sites for COVID-19 Quarantine and recovery.
The intention of this tool is to ensure King County decision makers are aware of the potential for significant impact to communities of color who are least likely to recover from the COVID-19 health and economic crisis. The Equity Impact Awareness Tool was developed in response to the COVID-19 crisis and should not replace Equity Impact Review tools that include more inclusive community engagement processes. Please cite Headwater People and the King County Office of Equity and Social Justice when adapting this tool for your own use.
Please contact arun.sambataro@kingcounty.gov for questions about the tool.
