Board to gather assessments, consider virtual town halls and invite county agencies before drafting RFPs
Summary
Board members requested localized data and suggested inviting the Department of Health and the school system; they agreed to collect assessments by April 29 and consider a virtual town hall to solicit public input on needs across the eight statutory categories.
Members agreed they need better local data to inform grant priorities. Dr. Rachel Jordan offered to pull community health needs assessments; other members suggested outreach to individual council members and to invite the county health department and Prince George's County Public Schools for input.
The board set a near-term homework item: each member will review the eight statutory categories, collect any relevant assessments or community surveys, and submit findings to board staff by April 29 so staff can compile a resource bank ahead of the next meeting. Staff also recommended a virtual town hall as the easiest early outreach mechanism.
Board members emphasized that application customer service and speed of payouts will be important evaluation criteria and discussed options to contract grant administration to a nonprofit with expertise if county capacity is insufficient.
