The Community Care Development Project (CCDP) improves the mental health, education, and overall health and well-being of Oregon’s youth and families through robust partnerships, including youth and family serving community-based organizations.
Building on relationships with local partners, linguistically and culturally responsive school-based Community Care staff provide emotional support and system navigation to youth and their families, and identify and respond to community health and mental health needs via innovative, locally-driven strategies.
CCDP is supported by braided and blended funding that includes $5.5 million in ESSER III Set-Aside funds (2022-2024), a $5.4 million Project AWARE (Advancing Wellness and Resiliency in Education) grant from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) (2022-2027), $1 million in state general funds (2024-2025), district Student Investment Account dollars, and independent grants awarded to districts.
