Grants for Nonprofits - Housing

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.

The Seminole County is currently accepting grant applications for the Home-ARP Program, a critical initiative designed to mitigate homelessness and enhance housing stability for qualifying populations within the county. This program is a direct outgrowth of the HOME-American Rescue Plan (HOME-ARP), which saw Congress allocate $5 billion as part of the broader $1.9 trillion COVID-19 pandemic relief efforts on March 11, 2021. The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) administers these funds, with Seminole County having received $3,046,438. This funding was officially approved by the Board of County Commissioners on March 14, 2023, and subsequently by HUD, underscoring its alignment with federal strategies to address housing insecurity exacerbated by the pandemic. The primary target beneficiaries of the Home-ARP Program are individuals and families experiencing or at risk of homelessness, as well as other qualifying populations as defined by HUD. The program's overarching impact goal is to significantly reduce homelessness and increase housing stability across Seminole County. This will be achieved through a multi-faceted approach, including the development of affordable rental housing, provision of supportive services, and capacity building for non-profit organizations. By focusing on these areas, the program aims to create a more resilient and equitable housing landscape for vulnerable residents. The program's priorities and focuses are clearly outlined through its funding allocation. A substantial portion, $2,137,151, is dedicated to the development of affordable rental housing, highlighting a strategic emphasis on increasing the supply of safe and accessible housing units. Additionally, $300,000 is allocated for supportive services, recognizing that stable housing often requires concurrent support for health, employment, and other social needs. Furthermore, $152,321 is earmarked for Non-Profit Capacity Building/Operating Costs, demonstrating an understanding that strong, well-resourced community partners are essential for effective program implementation. Finally, $456,966 is allocated for administration and planning, ensuring efficient oversight and strategic deployment of resources. Expected outcomes include a measurable reduction in the number of individuals experiencing homelessness in Seminole County, an increase in the availability of affordable rental housing units, and improved access to essential supportive services for at-risk populations. The program anticipates strengthening the capacity of local non-profit and for-profit organizations to address community development and housing needs. These outcomes will be achieved through projects implemented either directly by the County or in partnership with qualified non-profit agencies or for-profit organizations, aligning with a theory of change that posits collaborative efforts and strategic investment in housing and support services will lead to enhanced housing stability and a decrease in homelessness.

The Pratt-Stanton Manor Funds, supported by the Greater New Orleans Foundation (GNOF), aim to empower older adults to lead dignified, meaningful, and independent lives. This grant program aligns with GNOF's mission to invest in the well-being of the community, particularly in addressing critical social issues such as the increasing number of older adults living below the poverty line and declining funding for senior services. The program recognizes the importance of both reversing this trend and actively supporting the independent living and dignity of older individuals. The primary beneficiaries of this grant are older adults, especially those living below the region's median income level and the most frail and dysfunctional older adults who are striving to live independently. The impact goals are to provide essential services and supports, promote economic security, and improve the general quality of life for this vulnerable population. Pratt-Stanton Manor's legacy of providing high-quality services and fostering a happy and healthy environment for residents serves as a guiding principle for the types of initiatives the GNOF seeks to support. The grant program prioritizes organizations working in three key areas: serving older adults, particularly those with lower incomes; assisting the most frail and dysfunctional older adults living independently; and addressing fundamental needs such as food, housing, long-term care, daily living activities, overall quality of life, and delaying disability onset. Specific guidelines include support for informal caregiver support, services to prevent or delay hospitalization, and initiatives promoting economic security for older adults. Capital needs are also considered, focusing on housing rehabilitation and repair, and capital support for residential care and community-based facilities that offer a friendly, home-like setting. Expected outcomes include improved independent living for older adults, enhanced access to basic needs and support services, greater economic security, and a delay in the onset of disability. The GNOF's strategic priorities and theory of change are evident in its commitment to supporting organizations that directly impact the lives of older adults, fostering an environment where they can thrive, and addressing systemic issues through targeted funding. By focusing on these areas, the GNOF aims to create measurable positive changes in the lives of older adults in the Greater New Orleans region, continuing the work of Pratt-Stanton Manor in promoting dignity and independence.

This initiative aligns with the foundation's mission to address systemic barriers and provide direct services to improve the lives of these vulnerable populations.

Within these priorities, the foundation seeks proposals that offer both direct services and systems-level changes.

This grant program directly aligns with the foundation's mission to enhance the quality of life for persons with disabilities by supporting organizations that provide critical services. The foundation's strategic priority is to address a range of needs that improve daily living conditions and foster greater independence and inclusion for this population across all counties in Wisconsin. The target beneficiaries of these grants are individuals with disabilities throughout the state of Wisconsin.
