The data for this Performance Measure will be planned and collected in collaboration with Buncombe County's Communications and Public Engagement (CAPE) team. 

The “story behind the measure” is a compilation of narrative from lived experiences shared during community listening sessions on the 2021 CHA health focus areas and cross-cutting results related to dismantling white supremacy culture and creating trauma-informed systems for a resilient community. The included “story” narrative below focuses more broadly on the systemic factors in the community environment in which programs operate and function. As programs and performance measures begin and/or strengthen, there will be organic opportunities for direct narrative collection to occur from program staff providing implementation and from community members engaged in the program’s services.
