Timeline and Important Dates
Funding Distribution Timeline
The Community Advisory Board (CAB) has recommended a timeline for distribution of the funds over the next eight years. This initial timeline is subject to change based on capacity restraints, community opportunities/changes, and allocation committee decisions.
Allocation Committees
In the summer of 2023, CAB responsibilities shifted to four Allocation Committees designated for each of the MGH Community Health Impact Funds priorities -- economic/financial stability and mobility, housing, mental/behavioral health, food and nutrition security. The charge for each of the Allocation Committees is to oversee a competitive process for awarding funds for the health priorities identified through the community engagement process. Members are expected to meet monthly for a set amount of time until funds are released.
