Summary:
The California Department of Public Health (CDPH) Office of Health Equity (OHE) will administer $5M from the Centers for Disease and Control Epidemiology and Laboratory Capacity Grant (totaling $499M) to ~16-30 community-based organizations (CBO) led by and serving communities facing inequities in COVID-19 impacts and infection. This funding is intended to advance the State’s work to close racial, ethnic, and other disparities related to COVID-19 and associated chronic conditions. CBOs will use the funding for pilot projects to reduce underlying inequities in the social determinants of health that have contributed to disproportionate harm from the Coronavirus among certain communities. CBOs in Los Angeles County, which includes City of Long Beach and City of Pasadena are ineligible to apply. CBOs outside of California are also ineligible to apply.
