Health Equity Projects
Vermont Community Health Equity Partnership - managed by the Vermont Public Health Institute, this is a new collaboration between the Vermont Department of Health and local organizations in each of the state's health department districts. BCRC has been selected as the backbone organization for the Bennington district and is working with VDH to develop a community-supported health equity initiative focused on priority populations who experienced significant health disparities during the pandemic. 

RPC Health Equity Grant - Each of Vermont's 11 regional planning commissions has received funding from the state to develop a health equity toolkit and training for municipalities. The jointly created toolkit will include best practices and sample language for the inclusion of healthy equity principles in municipal planning documents.

Homeless Health Equity Capacity Building Grant - BCRC has received funding from VDH and the CDC to work with a consultant on an Unaccompanied Youth Needs Assessment in Bennington. This grant is managed by a steering committee comprised of local stakeholders including BCRC, Greater Bennington Interfaith Community Services (GBICS), VDH and other partners.
