Using funds distributed by the Oregon Health Authority, Health Share and other CCOs will award capacity-building grants to community-based organizations already working in the areas of nutrition, housing and climate beginning in mid-2024. These grants will allow qualifying organizations to build the workforce and infrastructure needed to provide these important services. Health Share will be responsible for reviewing applications, awarding funding, and monitoring use of the funds.

Funding will support investments in four categories:  

• Technology
• Development of Business or Operational Practices
• Workforce development
• Outreach, education, and convening
