The Contra Costa County Office of Racial Equity and Social Justice (ORESJ) is announcing a funding opportunity to increase and expand safety, health, and well-being in African American communities in Contra Costa County.
ORESJ is seeking proposal submissions from local non-profit organizations that are providing critical services that increase and expand wellness, safety, and healing to people in local African American communities. The County will be awarding up to $880,000 in one-time grants to community-based service organizations to augment and expand existing services or programs by increasing capacity (e.g. serving more participants, hosting additional events, extending program periods). Ideal applicants are those that are: embedded in, led by, and have a history of serving African American communities; bring an innovative, culturally relevant service delivery approach; center equity in their programs and practices; and fill significant service gaps in the County’s most impacted African American communities.
The priority service/program categories to be funded are:
- Behavioral health supports
- Food and/or housing insecurity services
- Maternal and infant health services
- Youth development support services
- Community healing supports, particularly from trauma due to police violence
Applications are due by 5 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 31 and must be submitted to admin@oresj.cccounty.us.
For complete detailed information about this opportunity and how to apply, see the Request for Proposals (RFP) by visiting: Racial Equity and Social Justice | Contra Costa County, CA Official Website
It’s not racial equity unless it’s offered to ALL races.
Why don’t you fix the roads or lock up criminals instead of wasting taxpayer money on these swindlers?
I just puked when I read this topic.
