SE Utah Health Dept Development VISTA

Overview

The overall goal of this VISTA assignment is to build the capacity of the Southeast Utah Health Department (SEUHD) to secure sustainable funding that expands environmental health and prevention programs serving underserved and low‑income populations in Grand, Carbon, and Emery Counties. By strengthening grant development and resource acquisition systems, the VISTA will help address poverty‑related health disparities linked to unsafe housing, environmental hazards, mental health challenges, and substance use.

The VISTA will increase SEUHD’s capacity to secure external funding by developing tools, systems, and relationships that support ongoing grant identification, writing, tracking, and reporting.

• Develop grant narratives, budgets, and supporting documentation.
• Create a centralized grant calendar and tracking system.
• Research funding opportunities, including those for environmental health services related to housing issues such as mold, pest infestations, and failing septic systems.
• Assist with data collection and outcome reporting.
• Support grant writing for prevention programs such as health promotion, harm reduction services, and the Parents as Teachers program.
• Compile community needs data, document service gaps, and develop impact statements.
