Abstract

Health Resources in Action, Inc. (HRiA) is pleased to present this response to the Massachusetts Department of Public Health Request for Information informing the procurement process to award funds that target gun and other violence prevention among out-of-school youth and young adults aged 17 to 24. HRiA sees gun violence as a health equity issue, and welcomes the opportunity to support community-based organizations located in and serving high-risk youth on this important topic. Founded in 1957, HRiA is a national non-profit organization with expertise in developing, implementing, and evaluating solutions for clients who share a vision of improving population health. With a growing staff of over 100 professionals, HRiA has a long history of working with state and local stakeholders. Our mission is to help people live healthier lives and create healthy communities through prevention, health promotion, policy, and research. We work with healthcare institutions, public agencies, philanthropy, and community-based organizations improve population health and reduce health inequities. Our core services include capacity building assistance (e.g., training, TA, consultation, and strategic planning); research and evaluation (e.g., assessment, research, program evaluation, and quality improvement); and grant making for biomedical research and community health initiatives. It is within our capacity building assistance work that we have engaged with a range of Massachusetts-based agencies and authorities to provide services related to violence prevention. Throughout all our work, we remain focused on addressing the social determinants of health and striving to achieve health equity. HRiA has extensive experience working with communities in developing gun violence prevention programs, and is deeply familiar with the factors contributing to systemic violence in communities of the Commonwealth.
