PHIG Success Stories
See firsthand stories of impact from the Public Health Infrastructure Grant. From small wins to transformative changes, these PHIG Success Stories give us a glimpse into how PHIG fosters widespread innovation in public health systems and structures.
Dallas County Leverages PHIG Funding to Support Community-Based Organizations
Dallas County Health and Human Services (DCHHS) leveraged the flexibility of PHIG funding to provide mini-grants of up to $10,000 to community-based organizations (CBOs) and providers, supporting outreach, transportation assistance, and testing programs to address barriers to HIV services. Unlike traditional processes requiring lengthy approvals, PHIG allowed DCHHS to collaborate with CBOs to create a tailored grant program that met local needs, fostering stronger community ties. The initiative received positive feedback and inspired interest from CBOs outside the county, highlighting its potential as a model for broader regional adoption.
Harris County’s PHIG-Funded Program Strengthens Community-Based Organization Capacity, Improves Service Delivery
Harris County Public Health used PHIG funding and technical assistance from the Region 6 Hub, Louisiana Public Health Institute, to launch a new Capacity Strengthening Program for community-based organizations, specifically those serving communities that have been underrepresented or poorly served. Each program cohort will consist of approximately ten community-based organizations working together for a period of 16 months. Participating CBOs will receive up to $100,000 in funding, customized technical assistance focused on capacity-building, and monthly training, workshops, and peer learning to increase organizational sustainability. The first program cohort launched in November 2024. By investing in these trusted community partners, Harris County Public will be better equipped to address the social determinants of health and advance health equity for all Harris County residents.
