MISSION
The Board of Supervisors initiated an Unincorporated Communities Initiative (UCI) to improve the programs and services provided in unincorporated areas, with an emphasis on disadvantaged communities. Feedback from residents will be used to create a prioritized plan of projects or services that are most needed in unincorporated areas.
HOW CAN YOU HELP?
Take the survey below! Feedback from residents living in unincorporated areas is crucial to find and prioritize projects and services. We ask residents fill out the needs survey below, or provide feedback directly via email to [email protected].
