EQUITY IMPACT STATEMENT
The County of San Diego (County) is committed to promoting a culture of equity, belonging, and
racial justice. We serve all communities, including Black, Indigenous, people of Color,
LGBTQIA+, people with disabilities, low-income individuals, the young, the elderly,
immigrants, refugees, and those who have faced inequality.
The Chief Administrative Officer Recommended Operational Plan aims to allocate resources to
address inequities in County programs and services. This plan is based on community input, data
analysis identifying disparities, and meaningful assessment of outcome indicators.
In 2021, the County introduced a Budget Equity Assessment Tool. This tool helps County
departments prioritize services and allocate resources with equity in mind. Each year,
departments must identify equity components to evaluate budget changes that impact their ability
to deliver services and support their goals. The questions in this tool ensure that the County
applies an equity lens when developing the budget.
