In June, Good Times brought readers the full story behind the Santa Cruz County Community Assessment Project and offered everyone the opportunity to help the CAP determine their next set of community goals. Our first-ever online CAP survey garnered 321 responses, with the following goals receiving the most votes: The Santa Cruz County economy will create more living-wage jobs and keep more residents in local jobs; all children will have healthcare coverage; all high school graduates will be prepared to enter living-wage careers or higher education; more youth will be involved in prevention and positive social activities and fewer youth will enter the juvenile delinquency system; health of rivers and ocean is improved by reducing erosion, chemical and biological pollution, and improving riparian corridors; more Santa Cruz County residents will have access to housing, both rental and home ownership, that they can afford. Thanks to everyone who participated.
