HFNJ/SITE VISIT COVER SHEET Date: Thursday, July 15, 2021 Time: 10 AM ID # 4132 Where: Zoom Videoconference Program Officer: Lisa Block Agency Name: Make the Road New York – Make the Road New Jersey (MTRNJ) Project Title: Comunidades Saludables1 – Year 3 Expansion/Mental Health Services Pilot Agency Annual Budget: $ 1.7 M Total Project Amount: $150,000.00 Requested Amount: $100,000.00 Brief Description: With funding from HFNJ since 2019 Make the Road New Jersey (MTRNJ) has established a model peer-led community health worker program in Newark2 which continues to has evolve to meet the growing and urgent health needs of undocumented LatinX immigrants. Two part-time bilingual promotoras have helped thousands of residents obtain affordable and free healthcare, navigate appointments, understand health information, and apply for/access benefits for themselves or citizen children. 2020-21 Highlights The immigration crisis and pandemic have taken a tremendous toll on the health and well-being of LatinX immigrants. MTRNJ promotoras and other staff have been addressing more complex needs and supported thousands more people. Once COVID hit, promotoras maximized their use of social media, virtual platforms, telephone/texting and safe in-person meetings. They became a lifeline to these communities, helping families deal with disease (medical and other needs), safely quarantine, address employer safety, meet basic needs, and bury their dead including in countries of origin. Promotoras are also facilitating vaccinations. The attached Interim Report documents key outcomes to date; MTRNJ has largely surpassed its goals. Proposed Funding There is tremendous unmet need among undocumented immigrants for mental health services, many of whom are uninsurable, Spanish-speaking and suffering from trauma. Increased funding in Year 3 will enable the hire of a third promotora for Newark 15 hours per week to meet the higher demand for health-related assistance and support a new mental health
1 Healthy Communities 2 The promotora initiative also serves immigrants in Elizabeth, but HFNJ and other funds dedicate staff to Newark.
initiative establishing Spanish/English support groups in partnership with Rutgers University and possibly other local mental health providers if the pilot demonstrates success. The mental health pilot will engage graduate students in psychology and social work from the Rutgers Graduate Psychology Clinic in facilitating support groups over the course of the year in 8-sesson cohorts. Groups will mostly meet virtually but at least one will be offered in a safe outdoor space. Based on the needs identified, there will be at least one bereavement group and one English-speaking group for Dreamers (unaccompanied minors/young adults). Groups will be organized by age, language and experience. Between 90 – 120 individuals will benefit and at least 1,000 immigrants will know about the program and be receptive to counseling. A description of outcomes can be found in the proposal. The role of the promotoras in this work will be to educate immigrants 1:1 via street outreach and other communications about the new program and its benefits; generate referrals to the support groups; and assist clinicians in understanding their clients’ needs including cultural. Strengths: 1. MTRNJ promotoras have become expert case managers as well as trusted health coaches
and educators. Their investment in this work has helped realized even greater impact. 2. MTRNJ promotoras work closely with MTRNJ staff including the Legal Director and COVID-
19 Director, and community agencies such as NJ Citizen Action and ICC. 3. The Mental Health Initiative will reduce barriers to counseling, one of the most urgent
needs in the community. Clinicians, aided by the promotoras, will use a culturally competent trauma-informed approach focused on self-care, resiliency and healing. Legal clients will all have access and the scale of the program may expand if there is early success (MTRNJ staff plans to meet with other mental health providers such as Main Street Counseling to develop options). The lessons of the pilot will help inform decisions on whether the organization should formalize mental health services as a service component.
4. Similar to the approach of the Newark Street Team, promotoras will engage in street
outreach and 1:1 coaching to reduce stigma and refer/follow clients in need. They are deeply invested in the proposed initiative.
5. Workforce health and safety is a crucial need that will be addressed in a separate effort. Challenges: 1. The amount requested in Year 3 has gone up, to expand services and address the impacts of
COVID-19. The grants budget for the Year 2 project is included in the packet.
2. Sustainability may take another year or two, however, some new grants have been secured and data from the pilot will help leverage other funds. The executive director is actively
seeking support from various new sources. Countering this, the pandemic has destabilized health and mental health, and marginalized groups need counseling more than ever.
3. MTRNJ staff and Rutgers may need to put together a cogent plan for data collection for the mental health component. Additional capacity for program assessment overall would probably be helpful.
4. The evaluation chart may need tweaking.
5. Clarification is needed to understand the numbers of people receiving guidance and
assistance by the promotoras. Expected Agency Attendees: MTRNJ – Sara Cullinane, Executive Director; Legal Services Director; COVID-19 Response Coordinator; promotoras TBD. PRIOR GRANTS TO AGENCY

Organizational Background: A brief one paragraph description of agency mission and history, the popula-
tions that your agency serves, geographic and socio-economic focus and significant current initiatives
Make the Road New Jersey builds the power of immigrant and working class communities to achieve dig-
nity and respect through community organizing, the provision of legal and support services, policy innova-
tion and transformative education. MRNJ serves more than 15,000 immigrant families annually through our
service hubs in Elizabeth, Newark, Passaic and Perth Amboy.
Program Summary: summarize the primary focus of your proposed work, include your overarching goal and
anticipated outcomes. The next year is crucial for the recovery of our communities from the pandemic.
MRNJ will conduct intensive outreach, training and referrals to improve health access and outcomes among
low-income Latinos in greater Newark. First, through a peer-to-peer "promotora" program, MRNJ promo-
toras will conduct outreach to hard-to-reach immigrant communities to educate them on their eligibility for
health care services, public and subsidized health insurance and vaccines. Promotoras will also educate
community members on the importance of mental health and will create mental health support groups to
help low income Spanish speaking community members access mental health services.
Prospective number of people served: MRNJ will serve 7,000 low income immigrant and Latinx people
Project Accomplishments and Lessons Learned: Describe the project activities you completed in the past
year’s grant. What specific outcomes have been achieved to date? How has COVID-19 affected your work?
Address goals that have not been met or work that has not been completed. What lessons have been
learned that will be applied next year? How is the project changing as you move forward?
Throughout the pandemic, Make the Road New Jersey has become an increasingly trusted partner for im-
migrant families and workers, providing critical information, training and helping to connect thousands of
individuals and families to testing, vaccines and care. Our promotoras’ phones are ringing off the hook and
all of our workshops on health care, workplace safety and immigrant rights during the pandemic have been
oversubscribed. We have surpassed our goals in outreach and trainings only six months into the year. The
promotoras, with additional training, are now able to not only refer individuals for health care and health
insurance and charity care, but have also been able to identify and train thousands on workplace safety vio-
lations, and connect hundreds to vaccines. They have done significant work to dispel myths around the vac-
cine and to work with individuals to overcome fears to report workplace violations to the state.
MRNJ helped to connect 472 individuals with vaccines so far through partnerships with Essex and Union
County and the State Department of Health and FEMA. By creating these partnerships we were able to re-
fer individuals who were high risk and from underserved communities to receive vaccines in March without
having to use the often complex and burdensome online registration and appointment booking system that
can be difficult for community members to use if they are limited English proficient or do not have access
to a computer.
MRNJ also was able to raise an additional $110,000 and receive matched funds to provide direct cash assis-
tance to hundreds of immigrant families that were excluded from federal aid in the form of gift cards.
MRNJ’s mutual aid program, administered with support from the promotoras, delivered food and medica-
tion to 34 community members that were sick with COVID and could not access food or aid.
We worked with community members and partners that we met through the Healthcare Foundation of
New Jersey and NPR/Gothamist to create a multi-part series on Latino health in New Jersey during the pan-
demic. Karen Yi, the reporter, examines three facets of Latino health during the pandemic – access to
health care, workplace conditions and housing - and investigates why Latino men under age 50 make up
almost 50% of deaths in that age group while only comprising 12% of the population. In it, she profiles one
of the families we work with and also interviews Dr. Frank Dos Santos from Clara Maass.
We will focus on access to vaccines for the next six months and will create partnerships with Essex County
and the city of Newark to streamline vaccine access for community members.
Although we have already surpassed our goals in terms of worker trainings and individual case referrals for
workplace safety, we will continue to provide these trainings because the instances of workplace violations
of safety protocols, paid sick days and FMLA protections was so rampant.
Finally, during the pandemic, mental health stressors have only become more pronounced. MRNJ con-
ducted a survey of 225 immigrant families and found that two thirds of all respondents reported feeling el-
evated levels of stress. Half of all respondents reported being sad in the past month and that nothing could
cheer them up. Many people who took the survey reported worries for themselves (or loved ones), many of
whom are essential workers getting exposed to COVID-19; the intense stress of unemployment or reduced
hours among working adults in a household; widespread worries around making rent, paying bills and hav-
ing enough to eat; the difficulty of balancing caregiving responsibilities and supporting children’s wellbeing;
and the challenges of being isolated and separated from family members.
Objectives: List, chronologically or in order of importance, the specific objectives of your proposed work
and the specific activities to be undertaken to reach each objective, as they correspond to the HFNJ Project
Evaluation Logic Model. Indicate the staffing required and the timing for each objective. Indicate how you
will accommodate ongoing affects of COVID-19.
MRNJ will continue to provide health access and workplace safety trainings to Latinx community members
in the greater Newark area as we have done in 2019 and 2020.
To address this growing mental health crisis among immigrant and Latinx families, MRNJ will pilot a direct
service delivery model to provide support groups to immigrant young people and adults and create a more
comprehensive mental and behavioral health referral system to connect nearly one thousand immigrants
to mental health care. The communities that will benefit are low income immigrant, Latinx youth and
adults, including undocumented immigrants and others who are uninsured and ineligible for public health
insurance. At a time of extreme loss due to COVID-19, which has disproportionately impacted Latinx New
Jerseyans, and in which most families we work with are experiencing economic loss, coping with illness and
death, this programming is critical to our clients survival and wellbeing.
There are two prongs to our approach:
First, MRNJ will pilot immigrant mental health support groups with the aid of trained counselors that are
part of a network of providers we work with, including Sanar and Rutgers University graduate psychology
clinic. MRNJ will work to identify other local mental health providers, for example Main Street Counseling,
for partnership. Based on principles of trauma informed care, the support groups will meet weekly for 8
weeks and then will provide additional referrals for further mental health care for participants, as needed.
The purpose of the groups is to promote resilience, provide support, and teach self-care and copying strate-
gies to immigrants. There will be 6-8 groups in total. The groups will be organized based on age, language
and experience. There will be a Spanish language group for immigrant adults, an English speaking group for
young adult “Dreamers” and a bereavement group for individuals who have experienced loss, particularly
relating to COVID (we have lost several clients/members during the pandemic).
The group will be led by a social worker or psychologist with clinical experience in group leadership, trauma
and teaching self-care. The support groups will focus on providing strategies for resilience and self-care us-
ing a trauma informed methodology developed by the providers. MRNJ’s promotoras’ role is to support
the creation of these groups, but the actual support groups will be facilitated by trained mental health
counselors. MRNJ will use zoom or outdoor meeting spaces in Newark and Elizabeth so that immigrant
adults or young people can obtain care while continuing to socially distance.
MRNJ has already piloted a first support group through a partnership with SANAR. Based on the initial suc-
cess, MRNJ seeks to expand the pilot.
Second, MRNJ’s health navigator or “promotora” will provide behavioral and mental health care referrals
that will be available to each client in our legal services program. This will ensure each of our 800+ clients
obtains information about mental health referrals and assistance in connecting with the provider should
they wish to pursue assistance. Our navigator will support clients to obtain information about referrals,
connect with referrals and develop partnerships to ensure clients are connected with culturally competent
care. She will also create referral documents in Spanish and English and materials that explain the im-
portance of behavioral health and mental health care and break down stigma.
This work will be supervised by our legal director and supported by our COVID response coordinator.
Outcomes: For each objective noted above, discuss the specific outcomes that you plan to achieve, includ-
ing both process outcomes (i.e., number of sessions held, people served, etc.) and change outcomes (im-
provements in health, changes in behaviors, attitudes, skills, and/or knowledge acquired; increased access
to services, collaborations, etc.)
For the mental health support groups, the support groups will meet weekly for 8 weeks with 15 partici-
pants each, and then will provide additional referrals for further mental health care for participants, as
needed. The purpose of the groups is to promote resilience, provide support, and teach self-care and copy-
ing strategies to immigrants. There will be 6-8 groups in total. The groups will be organized based on age,
language and experience.
Using a mutual-aid approach which emphasizes that self-care and well-being is a collective goal for the par-
ticipants and the organization, participants will:
· Develop collaborative, supportive and healthy relationships with each other;
· Learn tools for self-care including stress management and mindfulness techniques, and also for
recognizing signs of burnout;
· For the bereavement group: learning to cope with loss of a loved one and help others cope with
grief.
In addition, 1,000 immigrants will receive referrals for mental health care through our legal services and
promotora program.
For health care outreach: MRNJ will conduct street out-reach to recruit individuals to workshops and will
recruit through partner organizations, who will have a sign up list.
Spanish language educational sessions will be held in Newark churches and schools. Community partners
to include Ironbound Community Corporation, La Casa de Don Pedro, St. Lucy’s and St. Stephen’s Churches,
East Side High School and Lighthouse Assembly of God.
1 informational session per week reaching 4,000 community members
Impact Outcomes Include:
• Increased understanding of rights as immigrants in the healthcare system;
• Increased awareness of the benefits of health insurance
• Knowledge of community health care options
• Participants will understand their eligibility to obtain health care for themselves and their family
• Referrals to health care services and vaccines
• How to apply for charity care, public health insurance or health insurance
Promotoras will assist at least 200 immigrants to screen for workplace health safety issues and to address
issues in the workplace with the assistance of the legal team.
Evaluation Plan: How do you plan to evaluate your project? Set forth your evaluation plan, referring to the
HFNJ Evaluation Chart/Logic Model. How will you collect your data (i.e., observation, interviews, question-
naires, checklists, surveys, focus groups, sign-in sheets, electronic records, notes, etc.)? What instruments
will you use (i.e., pre and post surveys, Beck’s Depression Scale, ACES, documented observations, struc-
tured interviews/observations, etc.)? Who will be responsible for data collection? Who will be re-
sponsible for the analysis of that data?
Make the Road New Jersey has significant experience collecting, analyzing, and reporting on participant-
level data. We employ a customized web-based database using the Salesforce platform to track participants
in our programs. Data collection covers all major points of demographics, including country of origin,
household make-up, education levels, and dozens of optional fields customized for each program. Staff
who will be working on this program have years of experience evaluating the effectiveness of programs,
both through the careful collection and analysis of data to track process and outcome indicators.
As is our consistent practice at MRNJ, we will implement an evaluation plan at the beginning of the project
in order to capture and document actions contributing to relevant project impact and outcomes. By collect-
ing data from the beginning, we will be able to aggregate reports on the number of participants, the num-
ber of interactions and workshops held by each promotora, and the outcome of each workshop or
intervention. We will consolidate available data on a monthly basis to track our progress towards the pro-
ject outcomes. Two qualitative mechanisms will be used to track outcomes:
1) Post-quizzes from comprehensive informational workshops, individual outreach, and community leader
workshops document increased knowledge of health insurance, immigrant rights to access health care,
public charge concerns and increased awareness of health disparities and numbers of individuals reached
through our outreach efforts.
2) Focus groups pre and post health sessions to review changes in health habits and outcomes for program
participants.
Sustainability: What specific steps have you taken to achieve sustainability for this project? Set forth a plan
for future sustainability/ how this project will continue once funding from HFNJ is no longer provided?
MRNJ has secured a 26,000 matching grant from the Community Foundation of New Jersey - Farris Family
Foundation- for the mental health portion of the project. MRNJ has also applied for a $5,000 grant from
Victoria Foundation to continue this work and will use some funds from RWJ to continue the workplace
safety outreach.
Budget Narrative: Be sure to download and use the HFNJ Grant Application Budget Form, which must be
submitted with your request. Explain each of the major lines of your budget. Be sure to include other ma-
jor sources of funding for this project such as grants, donations, fundraising, and reimbursements. Indicate
whether these sources are anticipated or have been received.
This proposal seeks funding for salary and fringe benefits for three part time promotoras who will work 20
hours per week at a rate of $15 per hour with two weeks paid vacation. We are seeking to increase the pro-
motoras from 2 to 3 so that we can provide additional assistance to individuals to create the mental health
groups. We also seek funding for a portion our legal team, which will provide assistance making workshop
materials and informational brochures and will also conduct one on one appointments and intakes with in-
dividuals with questions on accessing workplace health and safety. MRNJ's services coordinator will also
support the creation of the mental health groups. We also seek funding for the Legal Director's time for su-
pervision of the program.
Acknowledgement: How will you acknowledge HFNJ’s support of this project?
Make the Road New Jersey will acknowledge the Health Care Foundation of New Jersey on our website, so-
cial media and in promotional material for the project.
