Overview
Grant Description
Advancing Health Literacy to Enhance Equitable Community Responses to COVID-19 in Dallas County - Dallas County Health and Human Services (DCHHS) serves a population of over 2.6 million people and is seeking $4 million in funding under this grant opportunity.
DCHHS has found that African American and Hispanic residents and people living in zip codes located in Southeast Dallas County continue to experience the highest burden of disease and mortality in Dallas County, including disparities associated with the COVID-19 pandemic.
DCHHS will utilize this grant to increase community outreach to African American and Hispanic Dallas County residents living in one of 17 identified high-risk zip codes. DCHHS will partner with Parkland Health & Hospital System to develop and implement a health literacy plan focused on expanding direct COVID-19 outreach efforts and training providers to improve their communication skills.
Our short-term goals are to increase COVID-19 vaccine access and utilization rates for African American and Hispanic Dallas County residents and to increase COVID-19 public health messaging into these communities. Our long-term goals are to develop trusted relationships with the community, provide people with resources on how to access healthcare information, and to recruit, train, and pair trusted healthcare messengers in Dallas County with community-based organizations.
