The Alaska Department of Health announces $9 million in funding to local governments through memorandums of agreement in support of creating healthy and equitable communities around the state. The funding will be available through May 31, 2024 to support activities of greatest need identified by the local community.
The goal of the funding is to create and support local coalitions to develop and implement sustainable plans to improve the overall health of the community by preventing and addressing COVID-19 among underserved Alaskans at higher risk for COVID-19 related illness and death, including rural populations. The pandemic has highlighted that many groups are prevented from having fair opportunities for economic, physical, and emotional health.
If you are interested in applying for this funding, please fill out the attached "HEC MOA Round 2 Application.docx" and submit toJudy.Holland@alaska.gov or HECommunities@alaska.gov no later than May 1st, 2023.
