Orange County
According to this morning's Herald-Sun, the Orange County "Board of Commissioners is one of the first government bodies in the nation to seek to define social justice and make it a backdrop for its decisions." The Human Relations Advisory Board presented a draft of their document to the BoCC on May 13. The full document is available at: http://www.co.orange.nc.us/OCCLERKS/1005131.pdf
For those who don't have time to read the full document, here's the bare bones.
In working to seek social justice, Orange County shall perform government duties including policy-making and budgeting with the express objectives of:
1. Striving for the elimination of oppression and inequity by creating an environment of equal opportunity in which no groups are targeted for harassment, exclusion, intimidation or violence.

A question has been raised about the Orange County Partnership to End Homeless. The Partnership completed its plan in 2007 and has 5 goals:
Reduce Chronic Homelessness
Increase Employment
Prevent Homelessness
Increase Access to Services
Increase Public Participation in Ending Homelessness
The 2009 Annual Report will be released in May and will highlight the progress made towards those goals. This annual report can be found on the Partnership's website. Any member of our executive team would be happy to answer further questions about the partnership and its work.
