Grant Partners

Cambridge Economic Opportunity Committee’s (CEOC) one-stop bundled services model allows them to serve the whole person or family and not just one need. This approach results in wider access to an array of benefits, including health insurance. CEOC has ongoing relationships with their clients and strong community partnerships allowing them to support clients through the federal COVID-19 Public Health Emergency and life changes that may impact their coverage status. During the grant period, CEOC will provide multi-lingual outreach to the remaining uninsured by going where they receive services, conducting community and education events, and advertising on local and ethnic social media in English, Haitian Creole, Amharic, Portuguese, and Spanish. They will also expand outreach to neighborhoods that experience high rates of uninsurance with a focus on the Latino, Haitian, African American, and Brazilian communities; individuals and families under 300% of the Federal Poverty Level; single, younger, and people of color; and employment sectors with a high rate of uninsurance
