Chapel Hill - 968-4501 Mebane - 227-2031 Durham - 688-7331 PURPOSE: To approve the contract between the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill (UNC-CH) and the Orange County Health Department (OCHD) to fund year three of the Community-Based Public Health Initiative (CBPHI) . The aim of this program is to improve the health of African-American members in the Efland-Cheeks and Cedar Grove communities; and to strengthen the capacity of community-based groups to assess and address their own unique health related problems. BACKGROUND: The Orange County Board of Commissioners have approved the first two years of funding of this contract on May 18, 1993 and December 6, 1993. A full report to the Board of Commissioners is planned for the March 8, 1995, meeting in Efland which will address the outcomes achieved, the degree of community involvement and the plans for continuation funding after the grant from Kellogg is completed in April, 1996. Since the project began, the project has been governed by a coalition representing UNC-CH, OCHD, the Joint Orange-Chatham Community Action Agency (JOCCA) , Piedmont Health Services (formerly known as the Orange-Chatham Comprehensive Health Service) , the Cooperative Extension Service and three grass-roots community based organizations, the Efland Development Association, the Cheeks Homeowners Association and the Low Income Policy Advisory Council of JOCCA. The coalition has employed a full-time project director and a half- time Office Assistant, who have worked with the coalition to accomplish three major objectives. First of all, communities groups from Efland-Cheeks and Cedar Grove have completed a ten week leadership development program called, "Community Voices" . The communities identified two problems they wanted to start on immediately. Secondly, in Efland, teen pregnancy was identified as a top priority problem which was sought to be overcome by developing a teen involvement project called, "Teens In Power" . This has been organizing activities for teens in their community for over a year and a half. 2 • Thirdly, the Cheeks Homeowners Association identified heavy drug traffic as the major problem in their community. Nighttime drug patrols were organized by the coalition Using volunteers from the community, CBPHI's staff members and with the assistance of the Sheriff's Department. Three of five identified drug houses have been closed and community members are feeling safer. Objectives for project year three will include: 1. Identifying and training ten natural helpers from the community, using the Community Health Advocacy Program (CHAP) model. 2 . Using a supplemental grant from the Kellogg foundation to hire a temporary part-time coordinator for the Teens In Power program. 3. Implement strategies developed by the Community Voices groups during year two. 4. Implement health careers component focusing on educational programming for the teen population. The enclosed contact, in the amount of $93,884 plus $9, 111, carryover from the current year, totals a $102,095. This amount assures funding of the program through September 30, 1995, with no matching county funds required. Attached to the contract is a program plan which outlines, further, the goals and objectives of the project for year three. RECOMMENDATION(S) : The Manager recommends that the contracts be approved and the chair authorized to sign. 3 THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA AT CHAPEL HILL Office of Contracts&Grants The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Area Code 919: 966-3411 Campus Box#1350,440 W.

It is a permanent record of what you are achieving and what you are learning in the process which can help others. Preparing this report allows you -and the Foundation- to carefully analyze your work and the context in which that work is being done. This analysis helps to shape future grant-making directions. Each annual progress report should address the results of the project year just completed. The Founda- tion does not expect a project to unfold exactly as originally planned. In fact,success is often achieved because a project made changes. The lessons learned in making changes or from not being able to attain certain goals are as important as the successful outcomes. We encourage you to share your successes and frustrations. The format below is suggested as'a means of helping you to respond to the important evaluation questions that were identified specifically for your project. Many of these questions state in general terms what your own project has stated in specific terms. Feel free to modify this format if needed as long as substantive points are covered for your project. Strive to be brief but complete. Each annual report should build upon the last,con- taining just enough information from previous project years to refresh the reader's mind and to desciibe the maturation of the project. Project Summary (1-2 pages) This introduction to the full report tells the reader what to expect by "setting the scene." Succinctly restate the project's intended goals,the strategies you have undertaken to achieve them,and the methods by which you are evaluating these efforts. Weave into this brief summary the important questions for evaluation which were stated in your commitment letter. Note if changes have been made in any goals or strategies. Progress Toward Goals (2-10 pages) This section will provide detail regarding progress toward intended goals during this grant year. A. Outcomes (accomplishments to date) Respond to the specific outcome- questions for your project. In addition,if not already addressed,please consider the following: 1. Summarize your progress toward achieving the stated goals of your project. 2. Does your experience to date suggest that original expectations for achieving these outcomes were realistic? If not,why not? How will you deal with unrealistic expectations? If-,lou have modVied your intended outcomes,indicate the changes. 3. Have there been any unanticipated outcomes? What are they? B. Implementation(processes and day-to-day activities) Respond to the specific implementation questions for your project. In addition, if not already adc -ssed,please consider the following: I.

If some intended activities were not undertaken,please note them and explain why they were not pursued. 3. What problems have arisen and how are they being addressed? 4. Describe any new activities or modifications and why they were added. 5. Share other pertinent observations/accomplishments. 12 C. Context(characteristics of the setting,needs of targeted groups or individuals,and external and internal project conditions that may help or impede project success) Respond to the specific context questions for your project. In addition,if not already addressed,please consider the following: I. Describe factors or circumstances (positive and/or negative) within your environment affecting progress toward achieving goals either generally or as they relate to specific activities. 2. If your project is collaborating with other organizations or institutions,describe how these relationships are helping or hindering your progress toward addressing needs. Future Plans (1-2 pages) A. List the project and evaluation activities you intend to pursue during the next project year for each intended outcome and note whether and how they involve modifications. (This list is what you will report on next year.) B. What will be done this coming year to increase the likelihood that the project will be self-sustaining by the end of the grant period? C.
