In addition, Dr. Dennis has <br />organized and implemented Jubilee Integrated Wellness, an intensive <br />outpatient clinical program for individuals with serious mental illness. <br />The program has required implementation of clinical and operational <br />protocols, completion of numerous vendor contracts, contracting with <br />insurance companies and training multiple employees to achieve <br />organizational compliance. Dr. Dennis brings this capacity to bear on <br />vendor and grant relationships for Jubilee Healing Farm. <br />26. Please describe any prior <br />challenges you have <br />encountered in past grants <br />and how you have worked <br />through them. How may this <br />impact this proposed project? <br />For our POEM program, we anticipated creating our own Peer Support <br />Specialist course but discovered that the state of NC was not accepting any <br />new courses for approval this year. With the help of our volunteer committee, <br />we pivoted to hire a Peer Support Specialist trainer who could facilitate their <br />curriculum on site at Jubilee and added in additional outdoor and ecotherapy <br />workshops led by local and national experts. While our original plan was not <br />able to be executed, we were able to quickly find a way to fulfill the grant <br />requirements and create a program that accomplishes all goals. <br /> <br />27. Please describe one to three <br />key partnerships/ <br />collaborations that add the <br />most value to the success of <br />the proposed project. <br />The partnership between Jubilee Healing Farm and PORCH <br />Hillsborough adds immense value to this project and our work in <br />general. While we specialize in growing the food, PORCH enables us to <br />get that food in the hands of those that most need it. We do not have <br />the resources to conduct food giveaways for the community and we <br />rely on PORCH’s vast network and established practices to ensure our <br />fresh, healthy food gets to those who need it most. <br />28. If this project is not selected <br />for funding in this round, what <br />other funding might be used to <br />support it within the next 5 <br />years? <br />☐ Other capital or operational funds <br />☒ None. This is a unique opportunity. <br />☐ Unknown (please describe): <br /> <br />Criterion 5 - Local Economic Development <br />This criterion has a maximum score of 3 pts (out of a total of 26 pts). <br /> <br />29.
