HEAL Act dashboards
About the dashboards
These dashboards are designed to track and display the progress of specific state agencies in implementing the HEAL (Healthy Environment for All) Act, Washington's landmark environmental justice law. Three dashboards will be available:
- Strategic planning dashboard: Tracking how agencies covered by the HEAL Act are incorporating environment justice into their strategic plans. This will be updated annually, by September of each year.
- Environmental justice assessment dashboard: Tracking the types of actions that have prompted covered agencies to assess environmental justice impacts, and the status of those assessments. This will be updated weekly.
- Budget and funding dashboard (coming soon): Tracking the funding of projects that could result in environmental benefits or cause environmental harm, and how much of the funding goes to overburdened communities. This dashboard will be available in October 2024 once fiscal data for FY2024 is available, and updated annually.
Why are we doing this?
The HEAL Act was passed to ensure that all communities, especially those that have experienced the greatest environmental and health burdens, benefit from environmental policies and investments. This dashboard was developed to provide a transparent, accessible tool for tracking how state agencies are implementing the requirements of the HEAL Act.
Why is this important?
By making detailed data available to the public, communities are empowered to hold state agencies accountable for their commitments to environmental justice. These dashboards serve as a resource for ensuring that investments are made where they are most needed. They also serves to identify areas where more additional focus or resources are needed. Ultimately, it helps to ensure that the benefits of environmental policies are shared equitably, promoting healthier and more sustainable communities for all Washingtonians.
