-
547 total responses
-
373 people with lived experience navigating the behavioral system, houselessness or legal involvement
-
45 identify as a member of a systemically marginalized* community based on race or ethnicity

A comprehensive report summarizing survey responses can be found below. This work was generated by the Stabilization Center Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging workgroup and grounded in the Lane County Equity Lens Toolkit.
All data collected via the Community Survey is available to the public. If you would like to access the raw data generated by this service, please complete a Public Records Request.

Welcome to our new Executive Steering Committee member!
In response to community feedback, the Executive Steering Committee has amended their Charter in order to add an additional member in representation of individuals with lived experience. This step was taken alongside other initiatives to increase access to decision-making and project updates for community members and especially individuals with lived experience navigating the current behavioral health system.
Meet Rachel Leonhardy:
My name is Rachel and I'm so proud and honored to be on the executive steering committee for the Stabilization Center! I'm a native Oregonian and have been living in Eugene for over 30 years, so I have seen the increasing need for the exact services the Stabilization Center will offer. I, myself, have struggled with mental illness, witnessed it in my family and friends, and, as a registered nurse for the last 20 years, worked with innumerable patients and clients who are bravely living lives with mental health concerns. I hope that my personal and professional experiences will bring a unique perspective that will add to this already amazing project.
