Purpose
The purpose of this funding opportunity is for local CBOs to work alongside communities of South Fulton County to address COVID-19 related disparities. The CBO will work to improve and increase COVID-19 vaccination, testing, and contact tracing capacities across the populations they service, which must be inclusive of underserved populations who are at higher risk for COVID-19, such as racial and ethnic minority groups. The CBO will promote COVID-19 related health education, as well as provide isolation and quarantine support. The CBO(s) will be responsible for working directly with their service populations to spread awareness of COVID-19 throughout the duration of the health disparities project.
Project Activities
CBOs will disseminate messaging to address COVID-19 related health disparities, particularly across communities who have been disproportionately impacted by COVID19 and have relatively low rates of vaccination.
Scope of Work

- Disseminate regular messaging to target populations about services provided by the CORE household visit teams (antigen testing of symptomatic individuals, contact tracing, resource coordination, vaccination)
- Direct clients and community members to CORE household services for COVID testing and vaccination.
