2026 UBCM Community Excellence Awards Program

The City’s 2026 submission to the Excellence in Governance award category is the Building Our Future Together: Social Development Strategy (2025-2035). Project Description: Richmond’s Social Development Strategy is an integrated, community-driven framework demonstrating strong local leadership as residents increasingly rely on local governments to address complex social challenges. Developed through a rigorous, multi-stage process including a jurisdictional scan, census and community-level data analysis, and extensive engagement with residents, community organizations, and government partners, the Strategy reflects transparent, accountable, and collaborative decision-making. Its five strategic directions and 73 priority actions form a coordinated response to current and emerging needs, improving access to basic needs, enhancing inclusion and belonging, fostering safety and resilience, strengthening community voice, and supporting collective action. Aligned with Council-adopted plans, the Strategy integrates policy areas into a unified approach, positioning Richmond as an innovator in local governance and advancing a more inclusive, equitable community.
