strong labor standards to promote effective and efficient delivery of high-quality infrastructure
projects while also supporting the economic recovery through strong employment opportunities
for workers.

Use of Evidence

Subsequent reports will identify whether SLFRF funds are being used for evidence-based
interventions and/or if projects are being evaluated through rigorous program evaluations that
are designed to build evidence. Subsequent reports will describe the overall approach for using
evidence and evaluation.

d. Outcomes: Are intended outcomes focused on closing gaps, reaching universal levels
of service, or disaggregating progress by race, ethnicity, and other equity dimensions
where relevant for the policy objective?

The Bristol County Commissioners are developing a program to prioritizes economic and
racial equity as a goal. Subsequent reports will include specific targets intended to produce
meaningful equity results at scale, and strategies to achieve those targets. The Plan will
include an overall equity strategy that details the specific services or programs offered by
Bristol County in the following Expenditure Categories:

a. Negative Economic impacts): assistance to households, small businesses, and non-
profits to address impacts of the pandemic, which have been most severe among
low-income populations. This includes assistance with food, housing, and other
needs; employment programs for people with barriers to employment who faced
negative economic impacts from the pandemic (such as residents of low-income
neighborhoods, minorities, disconnected youth, the unemployed, formerly
incarcerated people, veterans, and people with disabilities); and other strategies that
provide disadvantaged groups with access to education, jobs, and opportunity.

b. Services to Disproportionately impacted Communities: services to address health
disparities and the social determinants of health, build stronger neighborhoods and
communities (e.g., affordable housing), address educational disparities (e.g.,
evidence-based tutoring, community schools, and academic, social-emotional, and
mental health supports for high poverty schools), and promote healthy childhood
environments (e.g., home visiting, child care).

The Bristol County Commissioners are developing a program to promote equity using
qualitative and quantitative data on how Bristol County's approach will achieve or promote
equitable outcomes or progress against equity goals. Subsequent reports will describe any
constraints or challenges that impacted project success in terms of increasing equity.

Subsequent reports will describe the geographic and demographic distribution of funding,
including whether it is targeted toward traditionally marginalized communities.

Community Engagement

The Bristol County Commissioners are developing a program to incorporate written, oral, and
other forms of input that capture diverse feedback from constituents, community-based
organizations, and the communities themselves. Subsequent reports will describe how funds
will build the capacity of community organizations to serve people with significant barriers to
services, including people of color, people with low incomes, limited English proficiency
populations, and other traditionally underserved groups.

Labor Practices

The Bristol County Commissioners are developing a program to develop workforce practices on
infrastructure projects being pursued. Subsequent reports will describe how the projects use

Promoting equitable outcomes

The Bristol County Commissioners are developing a program to promote equity. Each annual
report to follow will provide an update, using qualitative and quantitative data, on how the
recipients’ approach achieved or promoted equitable outcomes or progressed against equity
goals during the performance period.

The subsequent report will include how programs were designed with equity in mind. The
reports will include how Bristol County will consider and measure equity at the various stages of
the program, including:

a. Goals: Are there particular historically underserved, marginalized, or adversely
affected groups that you intend to serve?

b. Awareness: How equal and practical is the ability for residents or businesses to
become aware of the services funded by the SLFRF?

c. Access and Distribution: Are there differences in levels of access to benefits and
Services across groups? Are there administrative requirements that result in
disparities in ability to complete applications or meet eligibility criteria?
