CHILDREN AT RISK Recovery Research VISTA (Year 2)
 
 
 
Since the landfall of Hurricane Harvey, several collaborative groups and coalitions have been created in response to the needs of the impacted cities. CHILDREN AT RISK (C@R) created the Hurricane Harvey Children's Recovery Collaborative (HHCRC) in partnership with several nonprofit organizations and government agencies in the Greater Houston area. C@R serves as a catalyst for change to improve the quality of life for children through strategic research, public policy analysis, education, collaboration and advocacy. The focus of C@R is to make children's needs a priority and to ensure ample resources are available for children and their families to thrive. C@R fulfills the holistic needs of children throughout the state of Texas by focusing on four main issue areas that improve the quality of life for children. C@R aims to enhance, not duplicate, the work of other nonprofits. Through research and careful examination of where current gaps exist, the organization identified the priority issue areas of: Enhancing parent and family well-being, Strengthening public education, Ending child trafficking, and Improving child health and nutrition. The Recovery Research VISTA will build capacity by conducting research on the impact of Hurricane Harvey on children in the areas of: Child Care; Food Insecurity; Education; Health & Mental Health; Housing; and Vulnerable Populations, informing CRC members on funding allocations as it relates to children and supporting pursuit of grant funding. As a CHILDREN AT RISK VISTA, you will be part of a cohort coordinated by the VISTA North Texas project at Chisholm Trail RSVP, Inc.
