GIS & Equity Working Group

Background

The County of Los Angeles GIS & Equity Working Group is a cross-department initiative to collaborate on equity-related projects that rely on GIS data and tools. This group was formed in summer 2022 to address the following needs:

  • To respond to equity-related board motions and administrative requests effectively and collaboratively
  • To create a central resource for equity-related GIS data, applications, and other resources that may be used by:
    • County staff
    • Other agencies
    • County vendors
    • Board offices
    • County executives / directors
  • To avoid duplication of effort
