Peace & Healing Centers will aim to bring together community-based organizations, social workers, mental health professionals, faith-based organizations and more to create trusted, effective and consistent support systems in underserved communities. Examples of programming include intergenerational and interracial community dialogues, criminal record expungement and employment programs for formerly incarcerated individuals, urban agricultural workshops, financial literacy programs, and more.
Community-based organizations selected for the Peace & Healing Centers pilot program must have worked in the community for at least three years and be able to provide at least 20 hours a week of open-door access to residents. The Peace & Healing Center program will enable these organizations to host at least two culturally-centered healing programs each month. Click here to learn more.
