In early 2020, the Human Services Council convened community engagement meetings in the different human service regions to solicit feedback from Fairfax County’s residents on inequities in housing, childcare, transportation, health care and other services. Understanding these challenges, and how they influence health, housing and human services needs is critical in identifying gaps in services, coordinating efforts and aligning programs that create a thriving community for all residents. Findings from these community engagement sessions have been translated into eight different languages.
