Canvassing: Canvass impacted areas by visiting businesses, residents, and transit stops to provide information and gather input.

Community engagement liaison partnerships: Contract with trusted grassroots community leaders or non-profits who reflect and identify with the community. Liaison services range from recruiting participants to co-creating effective messages, to facilitating in-language focus groups.

Materials: Create visual materials that use plain language. Focus messaging on: "Why should community members care?", "How does this affect them?" and "How can they related to this?" Mail printed materials to impacted areas to reach seniors or those who do not have access to computers or internet service. Online materials should be mobile-friendly and accessible to everyone, including those who have disabilities.

Newspaper and radio advertisements: Advertise project information and events in local newspapers, community calendars, and on the radio to reach seniors or those who do not have computers or internet service.

Public meetings and events: Create welcoming, fun community events with project information sharing and gathering as the secondary activity. Select venues that are transit-accessible, familiar, and comfortable. Provide child-care and activities that get kids involved, a meal, and information on other relevant projects and services to create a one-stop-shop event. Be mindful of all religious holidays.

Property manager coordination (multi-unit dwellings): Coordinate with property managers to distribute materials or host small gatherings for impacted residents.

Reach people where they are: Make participation convenient by meeting people where they already are. Host information tables and post information in high-traffic areas frequented by key audiences such as grocery stores, farmers' markets, churches, laundromats, community centers, medical facilities, social services agencies, and libraries.

School outreach: Host student-friendly public meetings and distribute information to students to later share with parents, grandparents, and other family members.

Stakeholder emails and text messages: Send emails and text messages via stakeholder lists. Provide links to translated materials as needed.

Social media: Post information and engage on community-specific pages on NextDoor or Facebook.
