MAC Vulnerable Populations Checklist Solutions
The Minority Affairs Committee (MAC) established a project checklist to ensure early and consistent assessment of project impacts on minority and vulnerable populations. The checklist encompasses various populations, including race and ethnic minorities, individuals with disabilities, women, LGBT groups, veterans, and more. Additionally, new MAC projects focus on addressing socio-economic status disparities in transplant access and allocation concerns in non-contiguous states and territories.
