The Office of Minority Health (OMH) at the United States Department of Health and Human Services announces the availability of funds for Fiscal Year (FY) 2016 for grant awards for the Communities Addressing Childhood Trauma (ACT) Program. ACT is intended to test the effectiveness of innovative approaches in promoting healthy behaviors among minority and/or disadvantaged youth at-risk for poor health/life outcomes due to childhood trauma. These innovative approaches (including curricula) should be designed for minority and/or disadvantaged youth ages 5 to 15 years who have been exposed to childhood trauma, as well as support services to their families. ACT seeks to address unhealthy behaviors in minority youth and provide them with opportunities to learn coping skills and gain experiences that contribute to more positive lifestyles and enhance their capacity to make healthier life choices. ACT funded grantees should serve minority and/or disadvantaged youth and their families who live in communities where they are exposed to chronic traumatic situations repeatedly over long periods of time such as violence (e.g., homicides, nonfatal assaults, school violence, and suicide), domestic violence, some forms of physical abuse, sexual abuse, or neglect, or recovery from disasters or other emotionally harmful experiences. The ACT initiative also promotes the goals of My Brother’s Keeper (https://www.whitehouse.gov/my-brothers-keeper), an initiative launched by President Obama to ensure that all young people can reach their full potential, including boys and young men of color.

The Office of Minority Health (OMH) at the United States Department of Health and Human Services announces the availability of funds for Fiscal Year (FY) 2016 for grant awards for the Re-Entry Community Linkages (RE-LINK) program. The purpose of the RE-LINK program is to improve the health outcomes for minority and/or disadvantaged re-entrants, ages 18-26, in transition from jail to their communities. Based on the disproportionate numbers of racial and ethnic minorities among the incarcerated and formerly incarcerated populations, RE-LINK will target the communities with the greatest rates of minority and/or disadvantaged re-entrants discharged from jail to the community. The RE-LINK program aims to demonstrate the effectiveness of multiple stakeholders within the public health system and other community support systems working together to implement a model transition process. RE-LINK will establish connections, in a culturally and linguistically appropriate manner for the populations being served, between the re-entry population and community-based organizations that provide linkages to health care including behavioral health care services, health care coverage including through the Health Insurance Marketplaces and Medicaid, and other social services such as housing, adult education and employment assistance programs.
