The program's mission aligns with supporting organizations within the Western District of Virginia in their efforts to mitigate gun and gang violence. This initiative seeks to foster public safety by supporting a broad range of activities, including deterrence efforts, evidence-based programs, proven enforcement strategies, and the prosecution of significant firearm, controlled substance, and violent crime offenses. The grant targets local and state law enforcement agencies, local and state governmental entities, educational institutions, and 501(c)(3) non-profit organizations located in or serving the cities of Roanoke, Lynchburg, Danville, and Charlottesville (including Albemarle County). Multi-jurisdictional partnerships are also eligible. The primary impact goal is to reduce violent crime through a full range of appropriate strategies. Expected outcomes include a decrease in gun and gang violence, stronger community trust in law enforcement, and a more effective justice system in addressing violent offenses. The program prioritizes four key PSN design features. "Community Engagement" emphasizes meaningful communication and relationship-building between communities, law enforcement, prosecutors, and other stakeholders to build trust and shared public safety values. "Prevention and Intervention Effective" focuses on problem-solving approaches that address violent crime by leveraging resources like education, social services, job training, and reentry programs to provide individuals with skills and alternatives. "Focused and Strategic Enforcement" directs efforts towards identifying and addressing problem places and prolific offenders driving violent crime, often involving gangs and violent street groups. This includes utilizing technology and analytics, developing enforcement strategies, and deterring violence through public awareness. Finally, "Accountability" highlights the importance of analyzing and assessing the impact of PSN strategies on violent crime and community health, often in partnership with research entities, to ensure the program's success and credibility. The funding available is approximately $302,000, with grants awarded for a twelve-month period, potentially extending to 24 months based on need.

Intermountain Health is offering Social Determinants of Health Grants to programs and services that align with their priorities of improving nutrition security and stable, quality housing through wraparound and support services. This grant program is aligned with Intermountain's mission to address critical social determinants of health, recognizing that these factors profoundly impact community well-being. The grants aim to support initiatives that create healthier communities by tackling the root causes of health disparities. The target beneficiaries for these grants are low-income, vulnerable populations, served by social service agencies and healthcare agencies. The impact goals are to improve nutrition security and secure stable and quality housing. Projects are expected to demonstrate a collaborative approach between health and social service agencies, or provide strong health outcomes if an agency applies independently. The grants aim to foster partnerships that lead to comprehensive and sustainable improvements in the lives of these populations. The program's priorities and focuses are explicitly on improving nutrition security and enhancing stable and quality housing through integrated support services. Grant applicants must demonstrate how their program or service directly addresses at least one of these two Intermountain social determinants of health priorities. The theory of change suggests that by directly investing in programs addressing these fundamental needs, Intermountain Health can create a measurable positive impact on community health outcomes. Expected outcomes include improved access to nutritious food and increased access to and retention of stable and quality housing for vulnerable populations. Measurable results will be based on the impact these programs have on the identified social determinants of health, with an emphasis on clearly defined goals and outcomes. For example, successful programs might demonstrate a reduction in food insecurity rates or an increase in the number of individuals securing and maintaining stable housing within the target communities.
