| Population & Community Health | 2020 | Orange County's United Way | On March 15, Orange County United Way (OCUW) established the OCUW Pandemic Relief Fund to support our communityâs most vulnerable residents during the COVID-19 pandemic. This fund provides support to low-income individuals and families at imminent risk of homelessness, the current population experiencing homelessness, low-income students, and partner non-profits in need of critical infrastructure support. The OCUW Pandemic Relief Fundâs homelessness prevention efforts include the provision of $500 in direct financial assistance for rent, utilities, food, and other basic needs to households impacted by the economic devastation of COVID-19. To ensure we reach those most in need as quickly as possible, we enlisted our network of 40+ nonprofit service providers who know their clientsâ needs and who could quickly get emergency relief funds into their hands. Our aim was to immediately help vulnerable populations most at risk of homelessness, but for whom financial assistance from the California Employment Development Department and other social service bodies was taking weeks to arrive. After establishing the Fund, we soon identified a gap in service for newly vulnerable individuals not connected to a service provider. In order to fill this gap, OCUW collaborated with Amazon Web Services (AWS) in April to design and build AssistOC, a new mobile and web enabled application for processing claims for pandemic relief funds. Approved claimants verify that their income/employment has been negatively impacted by COVID-19 and that their income does not exceed 80% of the Area Median Income. If approved, they receive $500 in financial assistance via a prepaid debit card in as little as one week. To date, emergency assistance through our Pandemic Relief Fund has helped 4,000+ households meet basic needs such as feeding their children, remaining in their home, and staying safe. Our Pandemic Relief Fund efforts have been wide-reaching and also include providing books to students, support for homeless shelters, and vital infrastructure support in response to needs identified by 211OC, food banks, and other non-profit partners. OCUW is continually monitoring needs being assessed by 211OC, the comprehensive health and human services referral system for Orange County. With the influx of needs resulting from COVID-19, 211OC has received more than 30,000 calls for housing and food assistance since the start of the pandemic. For more information, please see the attached OCUW Pandemic Relief Fund update. | 350,000 | 12 months or less |

| Population & Community Health | 2020 | Keck School of Medicine of USC | The rapid spread of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic threatens to overwhelm our healthcare system. To effectively combat this threat mitigation (social distancing) and control (testing, identification of positive cases, and contact tracing with quarantine) are critical. Efficient contact tracing by public health nurses on such a large scale as we are potentially going to face is unlikely, thus, efficient, technologically enabled tools are necessary as aids in the fight against the novel coronavirus. At present, nurses and physicians are asking positive cases to inform their close contacts that they have been exposed, but this is passive surveillance and does not work as well as active surveillance. This tool provides a mechanism to conduct active surveillance for contacts and most important, delivers the public health message to contacts that they should quarantine for 14 days, thus interrupting transmission. Thus, this proposal seeks to test an online contact tracing tool that we developed to perform virtual messaging to contacts of confirmed COVID-19 cases. | 75,000 | 12 months or less |

| Population & Community Health | 2022 | National Health Care for the Homeless Council Inc | Recuperative care programs have the potential to (1) reduce ED and inpatient costs and contribute to better overall health outcomes; (2) help combat health disparities and inequities; and (3) serve as a bridge between hospitals and supportive and affordable housing programs. | 1,182,500 | 36 months |
| Population & Community Health | 2022 | MOMS Orange County | MOMS serves low-income, pregnant women of color in Orange County where over 40% of babies are born to mothers living in poverty. Low-income women are at a significantly higher risk for perinatal or postpartum mood and anxiety disorders and serious mental illness. With prevalence among this population as high as 50% as compared to the general population of maternal women (CDC/NIH), the need for help among our community is high. New fathers are experiencing stress and anxiety, too. Participants in our Daddy Bootcamp have increasingly expressed they are recognizing their need for mental health care. | 350,000 | 36 months |

| Population & Community Health | 2022 | H.O.P.E. | Well-established research concludes that housing and community health are strongly connected. The Corporation for Supportive Housing, the CDC, and the National Center for Healthy Housing find that access to safe, affordable housing -- and the supports necessary to maintain that housing -- constitutes one of the most basic and powerful social determinants of health. People with I/DD who are extremely low income are vulnerable to issues of housing affordability, residential uncertainty, and overcrowded housing, which are all cited as factors that can negatively impact physical and mental health. | 150,000 | 12 months |
| Population & Community Health | 2022 | PROJECT JOY | Project Joy is the backbone agency for AV AAIMM (black infant and maternal mortality) Prevention Initiative. Research shows the disproportionate level of deaths for black birthing persons has risen from four times to six times the rate for our white counterparts. Black babies death before their first birthday is at 2-3 times the rate as white babies. Health inequity is the root cause and the Department of Public Health declared in July 2020 that racism is a public health crisis. | 150,000 | 36 months |
| Population & Community Health,Healthcare Delivery Systems | 2022 | California Hospital Medical Center Foundation | Hospitals and health systems, like Dignity Health- CHMC, are uniquely positioned influential and important drivers of health within a community. Making a positive difference requires efforts that extend well beyond medical interventions and hospital walls. Illness, disease, and disparities in healthcare are rooted in social, economic, and environmental conditions. Embracing "up-stream" interventions that target these Òsocial determinantsÓ can not only improve overall community health but can also provide significant cost savings for the hospital. While many different models to community health exist, Hope Street stands out as a uniquely transformative approach. | 150,000 | 12 months |
| Population & Community Health | 2022 | ALS Association Golden West Chapter | As one of the largest ALS patient service organizations in the country by most measures (number of clients served annually, clinical affiliations, program offerings, constituent engagements and more), the Chapter requests funding for its Excellence in ALS Care Initiative. This Initiative is the basis for our evidence-based model of care that has been proven to help people live longer and better with ALS, while also accelerating the search for treatments and cures. | 150,000 | 12 months |
| Population & Community Health | 2022 | Orange County Association for Mental Health | Since 1986, the MHA's 15,000 square foot Homeless Mentally Ill Multi-Service Center Program (MSC) in Santa Ana, CA, has been reaching out to those in our community most vulnerable. Open 10 hours a day, Monday- Friday, including holidays, the MSC is program that focuses on meeting the immediate basic needs of chronically homeless individuals while working to address issues that led to their homelessness. The need for this program is great. Last December 2020, the OC Register reported homeless deaths in OC hit an all-time high of over 300 deaths. | 60,000 | 12 months |
| Population & Community Health | 2022 | Child Development Institute | Babies who require a NICU hospitalization are at high risk for developmental challenges, including delays in communication, physical, sensory, social-emotional, and cognitive development. Parents of these infants are also at high risk for mental health problems, including depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder. These risk factors have serious implications for mother-infant attachment and infant development. | 600,000 | 36 months |
| Population & Community Health, Healthcare Delivery Systems, Healthcare Workforce | 2022 | Northeast Valley Health Corporation | NEVHC will increase timely access to primary health care, particularly Women’s Health (WH) services, for low-income and underserved, predominantly Latinx residents of Van Nuys and its surrounding areas. More specifically, the funds will offset start-up operating costs of our new 4,483-square-foot (sq. ft.), seven-exam-room Van Nuys Women’s & Reproductive Health Center (VNWRHC) to open three floors below our Van Nuys Adult Health Center (VNAHC) in 12/2022. | 300,000 | 24 months |
| Population & Community Health | 2022 | St. Jeanne de Lestonnac Free Clinic | Lestonnac program fills a critical gap in the healthcare system for the uninsured by providing free specialty care in 25 medical specialties, including dental, vision care, cardiology, endocrinology, obstetrics and gynecology, mental health services and outpatient surgeries. The recent introduction of our “Doc-in-a-Box” telehealth equipment has allowed us to expand the use of telehealth to serve patients in geographic areas where specialty care has been inaccessible. Poverty is the primary factor in the disparity of healthcare accessibility. Lestonnac works to reduce inequities in the health of low income, uninsured patients by providing comprehensive and holistic care for adults with chronic and acute conditions. We are the only clinic to offer specialty care for patients unable to pay. Most of our patients would be otherwise unable to receive medical care due to cost or the scarcity of specialists willing to see uninsured patients without charge. | 300,000 | 36 months |
| Population & Community Health | 2022 | St. Francis High School of La Canada Flintridge | 2022-23 Expansion of tools for pursuing greater wellness and mental health for our students. Will include but is not limited to: drug and alcohol education, fitness, sleep and its impact on overall health, nutrition. We've recently forged a greater partnership with NAMI's LA County chapter, and will be pursuing additional activities with their assistance. In addition, we will be retaining a nutritionist to help educate our students on healthy choices. We have met with our on site catering company to discuss healthy options, and will need to subsidize the roll out of these new food offerings. We will be retooling our LINK program (big brother program for incoming students) to include drug/alcohol education, as well as a greater regular (throughout the year) focus and discussion on peer-led mental wellness. We are looking to redesign our Physical Education (PE) curriculum to include regular discussion and education on health and wellness. Finally, we will be investing in sleep/meditation apps for students and faculty. We will remain committed to our Care Solace program which we implemented with UniHealth's assistance last year. | 75,000 | 12 months |
| Population & Community Health, Healthcare Delivery Systems | 2022 | Community Health Initiative of Orange County | Even in “normal” times, CHIOC’s clients face barriers to accessing health care and social services due to limited resources or English proficiency. Local hospitals’ community assessments and the Orange County Health Improvement Plan 2020-2022 highlight access to health care as a critical need, and Hoag Hospital’s latest report noted it as a social determinant of health. These reports also call out additional challenges, such as navigating a complex healthcare system, finding culturally and linguistically appropriate resources and services for minority populations, and understanding implications of immigration policy. These problems were exacerbated by the pandemic, especially for CHIOC’s largely Latino and immigrant clientele. | 150,000 | 24 months |
| Population & Community Health | 2022 | Walking Shield Inc. | Walking Shield Inc. (WS) is a Native American (NA) managed nonprofit agency, whose mission is to improve the quality of life for NA families. Our request is to support two health care initiatives: 1) vision care clinic on the La Posta Indian Reservation in San Diego, and 2) launching our program Keeping Curiosity and Hopes Alive (KeepCHA) for children ages 0-5. Vision care is a key ingredient to achieve health equity. We have partnered with OneSight for over 25 years to bring free comprehensive eye exams, and 90% of the glasses are produced on site. We will serve 900 individuals who will be prescreened so we know they need glasses. The typical need rate on reservations for corrective eyewear is 85% for children and adults. This number will be closer to 100% after the prescreening process. Tribal members’ wait time can be up to a year or more to see the Tribal clinic’s optometrist. OneSight clinics help reduce the current backlog so Tribal clinics can sustain a normal patient flow with minimal or no wait time. WS coordinates pre-logistics and assists with registration at the clinic | 330,000 | 24 months |
