AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN

UNIVERSITY SETTLEMENT SOCIETY OF NEW YORK (USS) AND THE ASIAN AMERICAN FEDERATION (AAF) ARE PROPOSING A PROJECT TO ADDRESS THE RAPID RISE IN ANTI-ASIAN HATE CRIMES THAT HAS PERSISTED SINCE THE PANDEMIC, SERVING ASIAN AMERICAN COMMUNITY MEMBERS IN NEW YORK CITY AS WELL AS REACHING ASIAN SERVING ORGANIZATIONS ACROSS NEW YORK STATE. USS WILL BUILD UPON ITS SUCCESSFUL HISTORY OF THE REJOICE! ORGANIZE! ACTIVATE! RECLAIM! (ROAR!) FESTIVAL THAT WAS HELD IN 2022 AND 2023. SPECIFICALLY, ROAR! WILL BE EXPANDED TO A FULL YEAR, TEN PART EVENT SERIES THAT ADDRESSES HATE CRIMES THROUGH WORKSHOPS ON THE IMPORTANCE OF AND HOW TO REPORT HATE AND BIAS-BASED INCIDENTS; CONNECTIONS TO AND INFORMATION ABOUT MENTAL HEALTH CARE; AND FACILITATION OF DIALOGUE AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR COMMUNITY HEALING. AS A PARTNER IN THIS WORK, AAF WILL PROVIDE IN-LANGUAGE SESSIONS TEACHING COMMUNITY MEMBERS ON TOPICS INCLUDING SITUATIONAL AWARENESS, CONFLICT DE-ESCALATION, AND UPSTANDER INTERVENTION TECHNIQUES. ADDITIONALLY, TO SCALE LEARNINGS BEYOND THE LOCAL COMMUNITY, AAF WILL ALSO BRING TOGETHER AN ANTI-ASIAN HATE VIOLENCE WORKING GROUP THAT WILL CONVENE ASIAN-SERVING ORGANIZATIONS ACROSS THE STATE TO CREATE A PLAYBOOK OF REPLICABLE BEST PRACTICES FOR COMMUNITY-BASED APPROACHES TO ADDRESSING HATE. THIS PLAYBOOK AND OTHER LEARNINGS FROM THE PROPOSED PROJECT WILL ALSO BE SHARED WITH LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT TO INCREASE KNOWLEDGE OF HOW TO SUPPORT AND ADDRESS HATE CRIMES IN THE ASIAN AMERICAN COMMUNITY. USS AND AAF ANTICIPATES THE FOLLOWING AS PART OF THE PROGRAM: ATTENDANCE OF MORE THAN 400 ASIAN AMERICAN COMMUNITY MEMBERS ANNUALLY; ENGAGING MORE THAN 20 ORGANIZATIONS AS PART OF THE WORKING GROUP; ENSURING 60 PERCENT OR MORE PARTICIPANTS INCREASE THEIR AWARENESS OF AVAILABLE WELLNESS AND SAFETY RESOURCES, AS WELL AS HOW TO REPORT HATE INCIDENTS; DEVELOPING A PLAYBOOK OF COMMUNITY-LED APPROACHES TO ADDRESSING HATE CRIMES; AND, ENGAGING LOCAL POLICE TO STRENGTHEN THE COMMUNITYS APPROACH TO ADDRESSING ANTI-ASIAN HATE.

BILINGUAL, BI-CULTURAL MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES FOR LATINX YOUTH - PROJECT ABSTRACT SUMMARY: THROUGH THIS GRANT, THE SETTLEMENT WILL EXPAND THE SERVICES OFFERED BY OUR FAMILY CARES MENTAL HEALTH CENTER, WITH AN EMPHASIS ON PROVIDING BILINGUAL, BI-CULTURAL MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES FOR CHILDREN AND FAMILIES IN THE CHICAGO AREA WHO HAVE LONG BEEN NEGATIVELY IMPACTED BY A LACK OF ACCESS TO QUALITY MENTAL HEALTH PROGRAMMING. GEOGRAPHIC AREA AND POPULATION SERVED: WHILE THE SETTLEMENT MAINTAINS OUR FOCUS ON CHICAGO’S WEST TOWN, AND ITS SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOODS, OUR PROGRAMS AND SERVICES IMPACT RESIDENTS IN OVER 85% OF CHICAGO ZIP CODES. 80% OF OUR PARTICIPANTS ARE LOW-INCOME, AND 82% IDENTIFY AS LATINX AND BLACK. THE YOUTH SERVED BY THE SETTLEMENT ARE PREDOMINATELY FROM SPANISH-SPEAKING, LOW-INCOME FAMILIES FROM THE WEST TOWN NEIGHBORHOOD OF CHICAGO. NEED: RECENT CDC DATA SHOWS THAT 44% OF YOUTH REPORTED FEELING PERSISTENTLY SAD OR HOPELESS DURING THE PAST YEAR. IN 2021, 55% OF YOUTH REPORTED EXPERIENCING EMOTIONAL ABUSE BY A PARENT OR ADULT IN THE HOME, AND 11% EXPERIENCED PHYSICAL ABUSE. ACCORDING TO THE BLUEPRINT FOR TRANSFORMATION - A VISION FOR IMPROVED BEHAVIORAL HEALTHCARE FOR ILLINOIS CHILDREN (2/2023), NEARLY 40% OF YOUTH IN ILLINOIS WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED A MAJOR DEPRESSIVE EPISODE WERE NOT ABLE TO ACCESS APPROPRIATE SERVICES AND CARE. THE REPORT HIGHLIGHTS A SIGNIFICANT NEED TO NOT ONLY ADDRESS CRISES AS THEY OCCUR, BUT TO PROVIDE COMPREHENSIVE OUTPATIENT MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES TO MEDICAID-ELIGIBLE YOUTH UNDER THE AGE OF 21, A POPULATION EXPERIENCING A CRITICAL SHORTAGE OF AVAILABLE SERVICES. GOALS: FUNDING FROM THE CDS GRANT WILL ALLOW US TO: 1) BRING THIS CRITICAL PROGRAM TO SCALE BY HIRING THREE ADDITIONAL FULL-TIME BILINGUAL, BI-CULTURAL THERAPISTS. 2) INCREASE POSITIVE BEHAVIORS, AND IMPROVE THE EMOTIONAL WELL-BEING, AND OVERALL FUNCTIONING OF THE CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS SERVED THROUGH THIS PROGRAM. 3) BECOME A COMMUNITY MENTAL HEALTH CENTER ALLOWING US TO BILL MEDICAID FOR SERVICES WE PROVIDE, MOVING THE PROGRAM TO A SELF-SUSTAINING FINANCIAL MODEL. NUMBERS SERVED: THROUGH THE PERFORMANCE PERIOD OF THIS GRANT, 9/30/2023 – 9/29/2024, THE SETTLEMENT WILL PROVIDE SERVICES, WITH A STRONG EMPHASIS ON BILINGUAL, BI-CULTURAL MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES, FOR 60 UNDUPLICATED YOUTH.
