SUMMARY:
The County Administrative Office in partnership with the Monterey County Health Department and the Community Foundation for Monterey County is managing a collaborative of community-based organizations focused on the implementation of the Virus Integrated Distribution of Aid Project (VIDA), formerly known as the COVID-19 Community Outreach and Education Pilot Project.
The purpose of the VIDA Project is to reach residents most impacted by the pandemic by implementing a public awareness campaign and community education efforts using strategies centered on culturally relevant messaging delivered by trusted messengers. Community Health Workers (CHWs) within the CBOs will work collaboratively across the participating organizations to conduct outreach and provide COVID-19 education and connections to resources for hard-to-reach disparately impacted communities through Spring 2021 to support reductions in COVID-19 transmission in Monterey County.
