Innovating Through Cross-Sector Alignment: Crowdsourcing Ideas to Improve Mental Well-Being and Housing Stability

View Case Study

This case study — in an effort to highlight innovative multi-sector partnerships between governmental public health, healthcare, and social service organizations, along with the engagement of their communities — examines how the Hennepin (Minn.) Public Health Department offered mini-grants directly to community members with local ideas and solutions to improve mental well-being and housing stability in response to the COVID-19 crisis.

In this Public Health National Center for Innovations series, stories of innovative approaches to address needs unearthed by the COVID-19 pandemic are shared in the hopes that other communities can learn from and possibly replicate those efforts.
