Gulf Coast COVID-19 Recovery Center

项目摘要/摘要 历史黑人学院/大学和社区联盟(HBCUCC)由 位于路易斯安那州新奥尔良的深南环境正义中心(DSCEJ)与 位于德克萨斯州休斯敦的德克萨斯南方大学(TSU)公共事务学院芭芭拉·乔丹·米奇·利兰； 并与墨西哥湾沿岸五个州的五(5)个社区组织合作 (路易斯安那州、密西西比州、阿拉巴马州、佛罗里达州和德克萨斯州)。这些社区暴露于COVID的风险很高- 19并受到病毒不利影响的不成比例的影响，即：a.)成为这种病毒的受害者 利率高得不成比例，以及b)高住院率和死亡率与挥之不去的 有色人种长期面临的健康、社会和环境不平等。 鉴于世界各地不断上升的感染率和死亡率，对这一培训计划的需求是显而易见的 该国和墨西哥湾沿岸最令人震惊的利率上升。预计这一培训计划将 通过有效的社区教育和培训，协助减少病毒的传播 从而阻止了在这些高危地区内蔓延的社区浪潮。 此应用程序正在响应特别关注的通知，而不是ES-21-002优先考虑健康、安全 以及对新冠肺炎基本工人和他们的社区的康复培训。深南中心将 扩大财团的工作范围，包括开发墨西哥湾沿岸新冠肺炎恢复中心，以 促进新冠肺炎关键员工及其社区的健康、安全和康复培训。 为此，DSCEJ和TSU将通过合并社区来扩大该联盟的覆盖范围 在所有五个HBCUCC州进行培训。这些社区包括墨西哥湾沿岸的社区。这个项目的总体目标是 培训计划旨在帮助和促进社区公平地从这种致命的新冠肺炎病毒中恢复过来 由此导致的大流行，导致受疫情影响最严重的社区更广泛地接受公共卫生措施 病毒。该项目的具体目标是：(1)与社区发展新冠肺炎培训伙伴关系- 以代表高危社区的组织为基础，并提供关于以下方面的教育和认识培训 新冠肺炎健康风险；(2)为方便获取备灾综合服务资源， 通过城市机构进行响应和恢复；(3)每月在指定地点开设两节新冠肺炎课程 通过1,868小时的接触培训，培训了约241名居民；(4) 作为个人防护装备(PPE)分发的储存库；(5)开发移动通信设备 将社区居民和基本工作者与综合服务和工作联系起来的应用程序； 开发每月YouTube视频，介绍新冠肺炎案例并对每个社区进行影响分析 通过跟踪五个州五个社区的新冠肺炎数据和空气污染数据得出的结果 参与联合体；以及(7)为参与的国会预算办公室领导人举办培训员培训课程。

Project Summary/Abstract The Historically Black Colleges/Universities and Communities Consortium (HBCUCC) is directed by the Deep South Center for Environmental Justice (DSCEJ) in New Orleans, Louisiana, in partnership with the Barbara Jordan Mickey Leland School of Public Affairs at Texas Southern University (TSU) in Houston, Texas; and in collaboration with five (5) community-based organizations located along the Gulf Coast in five states (Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida and Texas). These communities are at high risk of exposure to COVID- 19 and are disproportionately impacted by the adverse effects of the virus, namely; a.) falling victim to this virus at disproportionately higher rates, and b.) higher rates of hospitalizations and deaths linked to lingering and persistent health, social and environmental inequities faced by people of color. The need for this training program is evident in light of the ever rising infection and death rates across the country and a most alarming rise in rates along the Gulf Coast. It is expected that this training program will assist in the reduction of the transmission of the virus through effective community education and training thereby stemming the tide of community spread within these high risk areas. This application is responding to Notice of Special Interest, NOT-ES-21-002 Prioritizing Health, Safety and Recovery Training for COVID-19 Essential Workers and their communities. The Deep South Center will expand the work of the Consortium to include the development of a Gulf Coast COVID-19 Recovery Center to “promote Health, Safety and recovery training for COVID-19 Essential Workers and their community.” To this end, the DSCEJ and TSU will expand the reach of the consortium by incorporating communities in all five HBCUCC states for training. These include communities across the Gulf Coast. The overall goal of this training program is to assist and facilitate equity in community recovery from this virulent COVID-19 virus and resulting pandemic, leading to a broader acceptance of public health measures in communities hardest hit by the virus. The specific aims of this project are: (1) to develop partnerships for COVID-19 training with community- based organizations representing high risk communities and provide education and awareness training on COVID-19 health risks; (2) to facilitate access to wraparound service resources for disaster preparedness, response and recovery through city agencies; (3) to provide two classes on COVID-19 per month at designated sites in the Consortium thereby training approximately 241 residents through 1,868 contact training hours; (4) to serve as a repository for the distribution of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE); (5) to develop a mobile application connecting community residents and essential workers with wraparound services and jobs; (6) to develop monthly YouTube videos presenting COVID-19 cases and an impact analysis for each community resulting from tracking COVID-19 data and air pollution data within five communities across five states participating in the consortium; and (7) to conduct train-the-trainer classes for participating CBO leaders.
