Homewood Children’s Village
The mission of the Homewood Children’s Village (HCV) is to improve the lives of Homewood’s children and to simultaneously reweave the fabric of the community in which they live. HCV realizes this mission through a child-centered model designed to provide support from cradle to career. HCV and its partners provide academic, social and health programming to over 1,200 children, families, schools and the community.
The AASP Community TIES project is directed by HCV’s Office of Research and Evaluation whose mission is to promote effective programs, systems, and policy recommendations that address dynamic challenges, internally and in the Pittsburgh community, through analytic program design and evaluation, relevant and community-based research, and innovative thinking and synthesis.
A Second Chance, Inc. (ASCI)
ASCI is one of the largest private providers to Allegheny County and is a multi-state organization. For over 27 years, ASCI continues to serve families providing kinship care case management services, transportation, caregiver training, and support groups to families. Additionally, we offer original programming to clients and members of the community at no charge. We share noted relationships with the Department of Human Services in several jurisdictions where these public-private partnerships have experienced national exposure in meeting family and community needs. As a provider of social services, we are also experienced in linking families with other services. We offer many on-site services such as childcare, wellness/mental health services, training and education, support groups, and teen programming.
Healthy Start
As a community-based organization, Healthy Start is committed to centering Black mothers, babies, and families in every way. Healthy Start has maintained a strong relationship with the Black community in Allegheny County for 30 years, serving over 700 families annually with intensive supports—and thousands more with community education efforts.
In the coming months, Healthy Start will complete a community needs assessment on community confidence, hesitancy, and feelings on the COVID-19 vaccination and access to it. As we know, pregnant and breastfeeding moms were excluded from the vaccination trials, thus there is very little information on the vaccine and how it can affect pregnancy, breastfeeding, and newborns. The information Healthy Start collects will not only provide critical information to support vaccination efforts but also contribute to the developing body of knowledge about this demographic during the pandemic.
