Miami LGBTQIA+ SDoH Accelerator Plan Project Narrative CDC: Closing The Gap
IeAIMATCOT.T611M
While there is local information about chronic disease and social determinants of health across
gender and racial categories in Miami -Dade County and the City of Miami, there is little to no data
in regard to Miami's Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Intersexual, Asexual +
(LGBTQIA+) community. Miami -Dade County's 2020 Community Health Assessment Report is
an in-depth source for chronic disease, SDOH and health disparities analysis, but only mentions
the local LGBTQIA+ population within the context of HIV/AIDS. This lack of data makes it
challenging, if not impossible for local government and organizations to create LGBTQIA+
inclusive policies that address the social determinants of health and offer chronic disease reduction
solutions within this population. According to Healthy People 2030, "Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and
transgender (LGBT) people experience many specific health -related challenges and disparities.
Healthy People 2030 focuses on collecting data on LGBT health issues and improving the health
of LGBT individuals. Collecting population -level data is key to meeting the needs of LGBT
people, but not all state and national surveys include questions about sexual orientation and gender
identity." The need to collect local data and create a framework to address health issues for this
population is crucial.
Research is needed on chronic health conditions among LGBTQIA+ populations. In recent
years, the number of studies that examine health disparities in the United States by sexual
orientation increased. Collectively these studies examined various LGBTQIA+ or sexual minority
health -related topics, including health risk behaviors, health care access, and health care service
utilization. However, additional research is not only warranted but needed in numerous areas, one
of which is the examination of chronic health conditions among these populations. Although
chronic diseases are not completely unexamined, only a few studies explored this topic using
nationally representative samples. Most research on chronic conditions by sexual orientation has
been state -level population -based studies generalizable only to the US states in which they were
carried out. LGBTQIA+ people experience a number of health disparities. They are at higher risk
of certain conditions, have less access to health care, and have worse health outcomes. These
disparities are seen in the areas of behavioral health, physical health, and access to care. There are
many causes of the health disparities faced by LGBTQIA+ people. The minority status of
LGBTQIA+ people, lack of specific education and training for health care workers, lack of clinical
research on LGBTQIA+ health -related issues, restrictive health benefits, limited role models, and
fear due to stigma, discrimination, and institutional bias in the health care system, all play an
important role in the causes of health disparities.
The City of Miami ("the City") understands the importance of addressing health disparities
facing the LGBTQIA+ population and is working to close these gaps. We are working internally
to educate, train, and support our City of Miami government leadership. The City of Miami is also
working externally to support our residents, business owners, and our network of advocates. There
is a need for local data and place -based strategies to address community issues and root causes
embedded within Social Determinants of Health (SDoH). Accelerator plans provide infrastructure,
support and training that is needed to focus on the health of our communities. Therefore, the City
of Miami as the applicant/backbone agency will partner with Urban Health Partnerships
(implementing partner agency) to develop the Miami LGBTQIA+ SDoHAccelerator Plan (SDoH
Plan). Urban Health Partnerships (UHP) is a public health nonprofit that builds the capacity of
1
Miami LGBTQIA+ SDoH Accelerator Plan Project Narrative CDC: Closing The Gap
communities, governments, and organizations to advance health equity through policy systems
and environmental (PSE) change. This SDoHPIan will also provide access to an entire ecosystem
that supports the LGBTQIA+ community. An essential part of this project will be using UHP's
Community Liaison (CL) Framework to engage community members throughout the process. As
a social justice strategy, CLs are community members who are paid for their time for personal and
professional development. The total project cost is estimated at $140,615. This includes an award
request of $125,000 plus $15,615 salary and wages in -kind contribution. If awarded, CDC funding
will be allocated towards salaries and wages UHP' multidisciplinary team of experts who will
work with the City of Miami to develop the SDoH Plan, hiring of four Community Liaisons,
Community Liaison support, travel, costs to support 3-6 small non-profit/grassroots organizations'
participation in the project to reduce barriers to participation, supplies, and marketing.
B. APPROACH
i. Purpose
There is a lack of local data pertaining to social determinants of health and their effects on
chronic disease within Miami's LGBTQIA+ community. The City of Miami and Urban
Health Partnerships (UHP) propose to develop a Miami LGBTQIA+ SDoH Accelerator
Plan (SDoHPIan) that will reduce this gap and provide a framework for PSE change within
City of Miami government, as well as within organizations of the multi-sectoral partnerships
engaged for this project, to reduce this population's chronic disease burden. The SDoHPIan
will focus on two primary social determinants of health: Built Environment and Social
Connectedness.
ii. Outcomes
At the start of the project, the City of Miami and UHP will co -design a Project Management
Plan that will include roles and responsibilities, timeline, and contingency plans. As part of this
plan, protocols will be developed for ensuring the Project Management Plan is being implemented
in a timely and effective manner for the development of the SDoHPIan. Adherence to the project
team management plan will support the activities and strategies that will be used to develop the
SDoH Plan.
• The City and UHP will meet at least every other week to discuss progress, challenges, and
next steps.
• A project workbook will house all key information about the project scope of work,
timeline, and responsibilities as well as the outreach plan, capacity building plan for CLs
and the multi -sector Leadership Team (LT), the Communications Plan, and the Evaluation
Plan.
• Any key dates and deadlines will be highlighted with reminders set on calendars.
• The project workbook, timelines, and progress will be discussed in meetings with the LT
to bring an additional layer of accountability.
Project evaluation will follow the model of monitoring and evaluation that UHP uses for all
projects. A mixed -methods Evaluation Plan, based on this proposal, will be developed and include
three categories of performance metrics: process, outcomes and impacts. Each metric developed
will be tied to its associated activity and strategy, as identified in the Work Plan, data collection
methods, timepoints for collection and completion, responsible parties, and associated targets that
2
Miami LGBTQIA+ SDoH Accelerator Plan Project Narrative CDC: Closing The Gap
will serve as benchmarks of progress in meeting project outcomes. The Evaluation Plan will
consist of outcome metrics for tracking project success and process metrics.
The evaluation of this program will have three areas of focus:
I. Outcomes & Impact: Is the SDoHPlan completed? Were PSE recommendations submitted
to the City of Miami LGBTQIA+ Advisory Board and accepted was strategies to
present to the Miami Board of Commissioners and/or external organizations?
2. Community Engagement: How is the community integrated into the work of the
committee? How are LGBTQIA+ residents and allies from the City of Miami engaged in
the development of the SDoHPlan?
3. Collaborative Capacity: Is there an increase in capacity for committee members and for
Community Liaisons (CLs) around their knowledge and skills in developing PSE strategies
in support of the LGBTQIA+ population? Is there capacity to create and/or strengthen
new/existing collaborations that will extend the outcomes and impacts beyond this project?
The Evaluation Plan will include the outcome and process metrics listed in the Work Plan,
including data on the number of community members and partners engaged, CL capacity building,
and outcomes of community action planning. Process evaluation metrics will collect data on how
the collective impact and co -design process was implemented according to the Work Plan, the
hiring of CLs, and the development of the SDoHPIan. Equity will be integral in the development
of the Evaluation Plan and metrics. The Evaluation Plan will also be developed with the collective
impact approach in mind. Therefore, it will be shared with the LT and the committee and shared
data strategies will be agreed upon. This may include having data forms or surveys to be completed
by each partner on a regular basis, the use of a shared spreadsheet, and/or through interviews of
partners. Privacy considerations will be formulated by the LT with consultation from the
committee to ensure that data sharing is done effectively, ethically, and legally.
Project impact will be measured based on the project team's ability to meet defined established
metrics. Each metric will have a target and benchmark completion date to allow for the City of
Miami as the backbone agency and UHP as the implementation partner to monitor the progress,
success and challenges to ensure project outcomes are met. PSE work and addressing SDoHs
takes time to see the impact that the work has on communities and target populations. It often takes
years and can extend well beyond project funding constraints for the full impact of this work to be
realized. That is why it is so important to ensure that project metrics are tied to realistic and
concrete outcomes that we know from research and available data lead to long-term . The project
will focus on the short-term outcome of building the multi -sector committee and completing the
SDoH Plan. UHP has seen firsthand the lasting impact and invaluable contribution of facilitating
partnerships and collaborations that reduce silos; providing technical assistance that increases an
organization/partner/community members capacity well beyond the project timeframe; and
influencing, supporting, and changing policies, systems and environments can have on
organizations, institutions, and communities. UHP will track any collaborations born or
strengthened from this project over the course of the year to demonstrate the ripple effect that this
work produces. City of Miami and UHP will also develop a Monitoring Plan designed to track
Evaluation Plan metrics. The Monitoring Plan includes regular team monitoring meetings to
review collected data, track progress, identify challenges and solutions, and review lessons
learned. Evaluation Plan benchmarks for each metric will help the project team monitor the
3
Miami LGBTQIA+ SDoH Accelerator Plan Project Narrative CDC: Closing The Gap
progress in meeting project outcomes and will allow the team to problem -solve any existing issues
and troubleshoot potential challenges. A part of these meetings is sharing lessons learned with the
LT, which are logged, so that this information can be applied to the remainder of the project and
future undertakings. The Evaluation Plan is considered a living document that can be updated
throughout the project to respond to pivots in the development of the SDoH Plan.
iii.Strategies and Activities
The City of Miami is hoping to lead the charge in South Florida when it comes to Diversity,
Equity and Inclusion. Focusing on the LGBTQIA+ population, the City and UHP will convene
local leaders to advise and coordinate the planning of a Health Accelerator Plan (aka SDoHPIan)
to address Social Determinants of Health (SDoH) affecting the LGBTQIA+ population in the City.
In particular, we are interested in focusing on the built environment and social connectedness. The
built environment encompasses many aspects of our communities including streets, public spaces,
parks, public transportation, and public community and cultural services buildings. How these are
designed, utilized, promoted, and maintained has a significant impact on residents' sense of
belonging and safety and whether these spaces are accessible for everyone. This is particularly true
for the LGBTQIA+ population for whom fear is a common emotion in public spaces due to
experiences of discrimination, harassment, and violence. In this way, the built environment is also
intricately connected to social connectedness. Avoiding public spaces and public transportation
due to fear or lack of accessibility can lead to social isolation, lack of access to critical health and
social services, less opportunity to engage in physical activity, and the reduced ability to build
community and social support. These, in turn, can lead to the development or worsening of
physical and mental health conditions.
Creating physically and socially safe places for LGBTQIA+ people requires intentional
and strategic planning. Features such as adding lighting, having infrastructure that makes it safe to
walk, bike, or take transit, removing walls or having low walls in buildings to provide clear lines
of sight can improve safety and make people feel more comfortable walking around, especially at
night. Ensuring that there are appropriate amenities such as having gender -inclusive restrooms can
make public spaces more welcoming, accessible, and safe, also reducing potential opportunities
for conflict and discrimination. Making spaces visually inclusive through built environment
changes can also add to sense of belonging by including art, signage, and designs that are created
by, highlight, add representation of and/or celebrate LGBTQIA+ people. The built environment
can also be a source of communication and education for and on behalf of vulnerable populations.
For example, public transportation is often a place where one can find announcements about
services or issues that are for or on behalf of vulnerable groups including those who identify as
LGBTQIA+.
The project will use the evidence -based collective impact framework, which we will focus
to produce an extensive document incorporating UHP' 8-Step Process for Developing a Strong
Community Action Plan toward building a successful SDoH Plan. The SDoH Plan will include
a series of PSE change recommendations that can be adopted by the City's LGBTQIA+ Advisory
Board and City at -large. Focusing on safe spaces, the project will look at the community's
resilience to the built environment and social connectedness. With a collective impact approach,
the Leadership Team (LT) will be comprised of various sectors and stakeholders. The theory of
4
Miami LGBTQIA+ SDoH Accelerator Plan Project Narrative CDC: Closing The Gap
collective impact hinges on the idea that organizations need to coordinate their efforts and work
together around a clearly defined goal in order for those organizations to create lasting solutions
to social problems on a large-scale. In this project, the collective impact approach will help
organize and leverage the expertise, strengths, and resources of the multi -sector partners to ensure
the SDoH Plan is comprehensive, effective, implementable, and not duplicative of any existing
efforts. Additionally, convening across partners will lead to the capacity building and "cross-
pollination" that organically occurs when you facilitate co -design and collaborative processes.
This will allow for strengthening of any current efforts and to build momentum and collaboration
around PSEs that address the social determinants of health for LGBTQIA+ people across the City
of Miami. The collective impact approach will ideally also create a network of partners that will
continue to collaborate beyond the length of the project, creating ripple effects that will continue
to address health disparities in the long-term. Successful collective impact initiatives have five
conditions that together produce true alignment and lead to powerful results. These are explained
below with descriptions of how these will be managed for this project.
• Common Agenda: Keeps all parties moving towards the same goal: The project team will
develop and establish an LT that represents various sectors and expertise and includes at least
one community member to inform the direction and implementation of the project. This LTwill
meet at the start of the project to refine the Work Plan and goals and then will meet on a
consistent basis (at least 10 times) to ensure everyone is on the same page and moving in the
same direction. A committee that includes additional multi -sector partners will be developed and
launched. In order to have a common agenda, the project team feels it is important that the set of
partners joining the committee is diverse in many capacities so that the many voices that make
up the LGBTQIA+ community have an opportunity to contribute to the collective effort. For
example, the LT would seek representation from Black and minority -led LGBTQIA+
organizations, organizations serving the transgender community, services for older adults and
for youth, health services, social services, the business sector, etc. Additionally, any needed
MOUs or commitments would be developed and executed to ensure that goals and roles are
outlined and formally agreed upon in support of the project.
A kick-off project meeting will be held with the Leadership Team to discuss goals and
plans for the project, define roles and responsibilities, and co -design a process for working
together. The full committee will meet on a regular basis (for a minimum of 8 times) for co -design
meetings to go through UHP' 8-Step Process for Developing a Strong Community Action Plan
and together build the roadmap document that will become the SDoH Plan. To ensure that the
committee is united in its understanding of the problems and issues being addressed, capacity
building trainings and activities will be conducted by UHP and members of the LT around relevant
issues such as structural racism, intersectionality, and the contextual and cultural factors that hinder
collaboration and progress in relation to LGBTQIA+ issues. Capacity building may also be
conducted for elected officials and City leadership to ensure that there is readiness for
implementation. A Capacity Building Plan will be created at the start of the project to map out
learning objectives, capacity building activities, and timelines.
5
Miami LGBTQIA+ SDoH Accelerator Plan Project Narrative CDC: Closing The Gap
• Common Progress Measures: Measures that get to the true outcome. UHP will lead the
development of an Evaluation and Monitoring Plan. This plan will include progress measures
developed along with the City of Miami and the LT to ensure that progress toward the desired
outcomes is tracked and monitored. These will be shared with the LT, and they will be discussed
with them on an ongoing basis. Each LT member will understand how and when to
contribute relevant data to inform these measures.
Mutually Reinforcing Activities: Each expertise is leveraged as part of the overall strategy. The
8-Step Process led by UHP creates opportunities through co -design meetings to leverage the
expertise of every member of the committee. Responsibility for tasks and activities will be
agreed upon based on expertise, capacity, and role. Meeting summaries and the SDoH Plan
progress will be made available to committee members so that they are informed and aware of
the activities of the committee and the LT, have an opportunity to get involved and provide
input as needed, and can understand how to bring value at different stages of the plan
development process.
• Communications: There will be a Communications Plan developed at the beginning of the
project that will be co -designed with the LT and the committee to address both internal and
external communication. Internally, the goal will be to ensure that there is transparency and
consistent communication amongst the LT and the committee. This includes communicating
about progress, opportunities for involvement and feedback, and summaries of activities.
Communications about these activities will take place at the LT and committee meetings as well
as in between meetings via email and phone with the implementing project team. A shared
Dropbox folder will be created and shared with all LT members where key information about
the project and the SDoHPlan will be kept for ease of access and collaboration. UHP also has
significant experience utilizing co -design tools that allow for communication and collaboration
virtually and will use these as needed to continue engagement outside of meetings.
The Miami LGBTQIA+ SDoH Accelerator Plan project is focused on investing in the
community and will embed the Community Liaison (CL) Framework to engage community
members throughout the process. As a social justice strategy, CLs are community members who
are paid for their time. It serves as both a professional and personal development opportunity. As
part of the collective impact approach, the project team considers it critical that community
members and representatives of the LGBTQIA+ community and its allies are involved and can
provide input on its goals and strategies. One key strategy to accomplish this is the integration of
the Community Liaison Framework. Developed by UHP in 2015, the CL Framework initiative
hires and trains residents to create a bridge between government and other key community agencies
to reduce working within silos, provide education and increase awareness around important issues
affecting their communities to better address community needs, and become long-term champions
for health and equity. By hiring and integrating community members into the project team, we
would be building in community guidance and feedback throughout all processes. CLs help
lead outreach work conducting culturally and context -specific engagement through out -of -the box
strategies. As trusted agents and messengers, CLs can often reach populations that government
and other stakeholders cannot reach or where historically strained relationships have become a
barrier. CLs, along with the Leadership Team will build relationships with a variety of
stakeholders, many of which do not traditionally have a voice in community and health planning
11
Miami LGBTQIA+ SDoH Accelerator Plan Project Narrative CDC: Closing The Gap
processes, helping to bring diverse perspectives to the table and building a network of community
members who can be activated around LGBTQIA+ issues in the future as well. This approach also
will support the City of Miami to move beyond one-time engagements and instead focus on
building long-term relationships, trust, and active community networks that increase participation,
empowerment, and advocacy around issues in the community. The long-term approach and
investment also create and maintains a feedback loop with the community to help the City of
Miami and partners maintain a finger on the pulse of what matters to communities. The CL,
community, and partner/organizational capacity building built into the CL Framework also
promotes effective collaboration between all parties and the building of more informed, inclusive
working relationships. Their expertise and contributions will make it more likely that the
policy, systems and environmental change (PSEs) identified will actually address the needs and
wants of the communities toward a healthier and safer built environment and increased social
connection. To support the CL Framework, UHP would provide onboarding and capacity building
activities as well as individual coaching support.
Outreach and Engagement- To ensure representation of those who would be most impacted by
the SDoHPIan, with the leadership and support of the Community Liaisons, the LTwill engage
LGBTQIA+ community members, allies, and community partners through a range of high -touch
and high-tech engagement strategies including a social media campaign, website project page,
and one-on-one/group interactions between CLs and residents. A strategic outreach plan will be
developed that takes into account the specifics of the LGBTQIA+ community in the City of
Miami, its diverse members, and its historical and cultural context. The outreach plan will
include several key components:
• Clear targets for engagement goals within communities
• Identified priority populations so that there is not just a focus on overall numbers, but we
are also ensuring there is a representative sample of participation from diverse members of
the LGBTQIA+ community. This may include for example older adults, youth, low-
income individuals, communities of color, etc.
• A list of partner agencies, often grassroots organizations, that are trusted within their
communities and have a wealth of information and context about community members'
needs and concerns. The LT will strategize around how to collaborate with these agencies,
which may include providing them with a stipend to participate, engaging them in meetings
and outreach opportunities, and connecting and supporting their work in some capacity
• A minimum of 2 focus groups to target at least two subsets of the LGBTQIA+ community
as determined by the committee such as older adults or transgender people of color.
• A brief survey that will ask about needs and perspectives related to the LGBTQIA+
experience around the built environment and social connectedness
• Community conversations to be facilitated by the Community Liaisons
• Fields notes to be completed by the Community Liaisons that track key information about
interaction and engagement with community members including number of people
engaged, descriptive information about the community members and the event/activity,
and any observations or feedback received
7
Miami LGBTQIA+ SDoH Accelerator Plan Project Narrative CDC: Closing The Gap
• A Communications Plan that takes into account the different ways in which diverse
community members access information and that ensures that communications are
inclusive and generationally and culturally sensitive and responsive.
Policy, Systems, and Environmental (PSE) Change Approach -Through a PSE and physical and
social change approach, the SDoH Plan project looks to address the factors in the physical and
social environment that create barriers to a healthy life. From a health equity perspective, this
project will operate from the understanding that these environmental factors and conditions are
influenced by historical and still present systemic racism and other forms of bias and
discrimination that in turn have an influence on health outcomes. By building change at the PSE
level, this project with UHP's expertise in this work, seeks to address the root causes from an
"upstream" perspective rather than a reactive and solely individual level. As an example, while
this project would certainly support the identification of initiatives where partners may implement
a programmatic event to provide emergency services that may serve 100 LGBTQIA+ individuals
(very much a need), the goal will also be to complement that strategy by identifying policies and
systems changes that could make access to welcoming and supportive services in public spaces
such as parks, permanent. In doing so, these public spaces can serve thousands over the long-term
and build a sense of social connectedness and belonging over time. This combined approach is
more likely to yield a change in disparities over time than solely relying on individual,
programmatic efforts. Healthy People 2030 provides measurable objectives in the five domains of
SDoH. At a national level in the United States, the Healthy People 2030 initiative sets national
health objectives with benchmarks and monitors differences across population subgroups to
advance the attainment of health equity. This project will use Healthy People 2030 as a reference
for building out the knowledge and understanding of the issues specific to the City of Miami and
to inform the potential PSEs.
8-Step Process for Developing a Strong Community Action Plan:
This project will utilize the 8-Step Process developed by UHP to guide the Leadership
Team and the committee through a series of co -design meetings to develop a Community Action
Plan (CAP) that is informed by the expertise and knowledge of its members. The 8-Step
Process will identify community -driven strategies for developing effective solutions, map out the
PSEs that will serve as sustainable strategies for improving the built environment and the levels of
social connectedness for LGBTQIA+ people. The 8-Step process would 1) lead to setting clear
goals informed by a collective definition of the problems impacting the LGBTQIA+ in the areas
of built environment and social connectedness; 2) facilitate the committee gathering the
quantitative and qualitative knowledge and data already available around demographics, needs,
and existing efforts and services, while also identifying gaps; 3) assess social networks, context,
and history specific to the LGBTQIA+ community to inform strategies; 4) identify what motivates
or drives the community and the City around behaviors and decisions affecting the LGBTQIA+
community; 5) identify intercepts or common-sense change tools that would address those
motivations and drivers; 6) propose PSE environmental changes to address each intercept; 7) map
out and conduct relevant process evaluation practices and outline an Evaluation Plan for assessing
and monitoring the PSE outcomes; and 8) provide guidelines for how and when to reassess the
goal(s) outlined to identify successes and add to the knowledge base for continued implementation
and/or reshaping of any of the goals. The 8-Step Process will also designate responsibilities,
commitments, and timelines to LT members.

1. Collaborations
The Miami LGBTQIA+ SDoHAccelerator Plan project has a robust Leadership Team (LT)
in place. The LT is a multi -sector partnership that is meant to create sustainable partnerships with
public health, healthcare, human services, and the community, which are critical to ensure
individuals have equitable access to chronic disease prevention services, treatment, and care.
While developing the SDoH Plan, the City of Miami, UHP and the LT will also consider other
sector partners to be brought into the collective (E.g., transportation, housing and development,
higher education, business, etc.). The following list are partners that have agreed to come on board

o Connect the LT with relevant partners and services that could support the development of
the SDoH Plan.
2. Target Populations and Health Disparities
City of Miami has a 2020 Census estimated population of 442,241. Miami is the largest city
among Miami -Dade County's 34 municipalities. It is a dense 36 square mile urban area with
considerable economic, social, and ethnic diversity. Miami has a diverse population that is 72.5%
Hispanic, 16.0% Black, and 11.5% White. The foreign -born rate is 58.1% and 77.4% of residents
speak a language other than English at home. The top 2 foreign languages spoken are Spanish and
Haitian Creole. Miami's median income is $44,268 versus Miami Dade County's $53,975. Per the
latest Census, 21.5% of Miami residents live in poverty and 66% are low -to -moderate income.
Miami is estimated to have 15,777 LGBTQIA+ individuals within city boundaries and 183,346 in
the Greater Miami area (Williams Institute). There are an estimated 5,131 married same -sex
couples in Miami as of 2015, according to a 2018 study of joint tax filings by the Tax Policy
Center. This number represents 0.92% of all marriages (Robin Fisher). The City of Miami trends
higher on chronic diseases compared to other cities. According to the City Health Dashboard, a
project run by New York University Langone Health, Miami had 389.9 cardiovascular disease
deaths per 100,000 population, compared to an average of 211.3 across the Dashboard's cities;
16.2% of Miami's adults reported having diabetes, compared to an average of 10% across the
Dashboard's cities; 31.4% of Miami's adults report being obese, compared to an average
of 30.8% across the Dashboard's cities. Miami had 30.1 colorectal cancer deaths per 100,000
population, compared to an average of 16.1 across the Dashboard's cities. While we have
demographic detail for these chronic diseases across race and gender categories in Miami, there is
no demographic data for chronic disease pertaining to the LGBTQIA+ community.
Miami -Dade Florida Department of Health Community Health Assessment has chronic disease
and SDoH data per race and gender, but for the LGBTQIA+ community, it is limited to only
AIDS/HIV. The information for that community simply does not exist within Miami -Dade County.
This SDoH Plan will create the building blocks so that the LGBTQIA+ community and their
health issues are not solely based on AIDS/HIV. The work we do will help local health institutions
more inclusive of the LGBTQIA+ community when gathering health data and developing future
community health assessments. The LT can create measures as part of the SDOH Plan to make
sure this data/health assessment inclusivity happens.
11
Miami LGBTQIA+ SDoH Accelerator Plan Project Narrative CDC: Closing The Gap
Research suggests that LGBTQIA+ individuals face health disparities linked to societal stigma,
discrimination, and denial of their civil and human rights. Discrimination against LGBTQIA+
persons has been associated with high rates of psychiatric disorders, substance abuse, and
suicide. Experiences of violence and victimization are frequent for LGBTQIA+ individuals and
have long-lasting effects on the individual and the community. Personal, family, and social
acceptance of sexual orientation and gender identity affects the mental health and personal safety
of LGBTIA+ individuals. Furthermore, current political trends, such as Florida's "Don't Say Gay
Bill" are at risk of adding to societal stigma, causing increased health disparities. The Bill could
severely impact the mental health of LGBTQIA+ students in Florida. Amir Paley, CEO of the
Trevor Project, an LGBTQIA+ youth suicide and crisis prevention organization, said that "when
lawmakers treat LGBTQIA+ topics as taboo... it only adds to the existing stigma and
discrimination, which puts LGBTQIA+ young people at greater risk for bullying, depression, and
suicide." LGBTQIA+ youth are already at a higher -than -average risk of suicide and self -harm, as
a survey found that 42% of LGBTQIA+ young people seriously considered suicide in 2021. This
Bill transforms classrooms into unsafe spaces for LGBTQIA+ students, where they must hide their
sexuality, which can exacerbate the issues that these students are already facing." (Johnson)
C. ORGANIZATIONAL CAPACITY OF APPLICANT TO IMPLEMENT APPROACH
The City of Miami manages 34 departments and agencies with approximately 4,576
employees and has an operating budget of $1.3 billion dollars including $153 million federal, state,
and local grants. As the applicant and backbone/fiscal agency, City of Miami will assign the
Department of Human Services (DHS) and its personnel to work alongside the implementing
agency, UHP, in day-to-day activities of the Miami LGBTQIA+ SDoH Accelerator Plan,
including overseeing the Leadership Team(LT). The City of Miami's Department of Human
Services was established in 2018 to help unify the collaborative efforts of the City Manager's
Office, City of Miami Departments, and local Community Organizations to improve the delivery
of human services to economically disadvantaged families and individuals. Acting as a gateway
to self-sufficiency, the goal is to streamline efforts to promote and communicate citizen awareness
of available programs while increasing the overall delivery of services through the Department of
Human Services. The Department oversees Health Initiatives, Homeless Outreach, Economic
Development, Workforce Assistance, Child Learning Centers and assists all other City
departments in partnerships and outreach. Since the department was established in 2018, DHS
has overseen over 22.9 million dollars in grants awarded, including the Aetna Healthiest Cities
Challenge, the Childcare Food Program, Advancing Cities Grant and the Miami -Dade School
Board Workforce Navigation Program.
Michael Roman, Community Partnerships & Strategy Manager- Mr. Roman will serve
as the Program Manager for this project and act as the primary liaison between City of Miami,
UHP, the LT and multi-sectoral partners to coordinate all LT meetings and project -related events,
