City plans grassroots outreach with churches, businesses and health department street teams to share survey
Summary
City staff and partners said they are distributing flyers, working with churches (including East Side congregations), visiting local businesses and coordinating with the health department's street team to reach residents who are not on social media.
Christopher Smith and CREO staff described multiple outreach channels for the survey: printed flyers distributed at community sites, outreach through churches and neighborhood associations on the East Side, visits to local businesses such as Niecy's, social media and city newsletters. Smith said in-person contact has been a productive method but is limited by logistics and cost.
Rio Cervantes Reed added that communications will use city channels — including council members' newsletters and the CREO webpage — and that the city's health department street team will help reach low-income populations who may not use social media. Staff encouraged volunteers and community organizations to help disseminate the survey materials.
