The Communities of Care (CoC) Collaborative, funded by the Hogg Foundation, is a multi-year, multi-sector effort that began in June 2019. This collaborative includes 10 grantee partners, representing a wide array of stakeholders, including community organizations, municipal and county agencies, federally qualified health centers, resident-led groups, and a broad spectrum of racially and ethnically diverse residents throughout the Greater Houston area.

The mixed-methods research study assessed the achievement of the collaborative’s goals and objectives and will track progress over the initiative’s five-year span.

L.E.E.D. With Joy LLC has been engaged to provide both administrative and technical support to the evaluation team. This includes but not limited to managing Community Checkbox, design, implement, and analyze key stakeholder interviews/focus groups. We worked to co-develop IRB protocols, evaluation baseline surveys, facilitated training and provided technical assistance to collaborative partners as needed.
