Community Partners is one of five organizations selected to provide assessment and longer-term technical assistance to homeless services providers in the county, an effort by LAHSA to strengthen and prepare these groups for the rapid growth that will come with the disbursement of well over $200 million in new County and City funding. LAHSA, LA County, LA City and United Way are working together to ensure a coordinated approach to addressing homelessness in the region, and want to ensure that key service providers are as prepared as possible to rapidly and effectively scale up their services. Community Partners is currently working with Valley Oasis, the lead agency in the Antelope Valley and The Center at Blessed Sacrament, dedicated to ending isolation and homelessness in Hollywood.

ACT-CA is a three-year statewide initiative (2019-2021) to expand the role of cities and counties in preventing childhood trauma, countering its effects, and fostering community healing and resilience. An Equity Advisory Group ensures that the initiative’s design and implementation are equity-focused, community-driven, and likely to succeed in changing outcomes for children. ACT-CA is part of a national effort to identify the strategies and policies that can address an increase in chronic health problems among our nation’s children.

Thirteen California communities are working to fundamentally transform the current health care delivery system through a community-wide approach to health with better integrated clinical care, community and social services, and upstream prevention. Accountable Communities for Health, a national model, creates powerful multi-sector collaborations to address a wide variety of critical community health priorities—such as cardiovascular health, substance use, asthma, community violence and children’s health—over the long term.
