The SJC Health and Human Services Independent Agency Funding Program is a reimbursement program that aims to provide social services to St. Johns County residents in need. The funding will provide necessary financial assistance to non-profit agencies that serve eligible county residents.
Health and Human Services and the HHSAC have identified the following three funding objectives as high priorities and service gaps that must be addressed in community:
- Community Healthcare and Aging
- The Community Health Care funding category administers funds dedicated to providing the highest quality, consumer-friendly, and cost-effective services to low-income and/or under-served SJC residents with primary health, oral health, mental health, and substance abuse needs. Substance abuse and mental health services must be implemented through Evidence-Based Practices (EBP). Included in the Community Healthcare funding category are supportive services provided to senior SJC residents, age 60 years and older. Services provided should assist seniors in accessing and maintaining the resources necessary to achieve health and stability. Examples of aging services/programs may include, but are not limited to, personal care, respite, case management, chores, meals, transportation, outreach, and adult day care.
- Affordable Housing and Homelessness
- This funding category intends to provide programs and services that increase and/or maintain affordable housing stock and/or alleviate and prevent homelessness and its causes. Affordable Housing projects should serve very low, low, and/or moderate-income St. Johns County residents. Homelessness programs should serve homeless or at-risk of homeless individuals and families residing in St. Johns County.
- Employment Opportunities
- The Employment Opportunities funding category provides services to SJC individuals and families who lack economic stability that enables self-sufficiency. Services may include, but are not limited to, child care, job training, self-sufficiency programs, interviewing skills, personal hygiene, and presentation coaching.
