EXCERPT: “St. Louis County is seeking proposals to address mental health, youth substance abuse and food insecurity in the Northland. When a community health assessment was done for the county in 2019, it identified mental health, youth substance abuse, and food insecurity as three priority areas of focus. ‘We were seeing data in the food insecurity area for example and 44 percent of households with children, participate in the Supplemental Nutrition Program or SNAP,’ said Linnea Mirsch, the director of St. Louis County’s Public & Human Services. This is why St. Louis County Public Health is seeking proposals from community-based organizations within the county to help address the issues. They are doing this by offering funding support of $20,000 to $100,000 for projects or initiatives that directly address those health priorities.” FULL STORY: https://fluence-media.co/2DOeuAs
