Metro South West Community Health Initiative

The Metro South West Community Health Initiative (formerly, Route 128 Community Health Initiative) will support underserved children, youth, and families in the communities of Brockton, Framingham, Needham, Quincy, Randolph, Waltham, and Weymouth. The three initiatives are Mental Health and Well-being, Flourishing Families, and Healthy Communities.

A total of $15.1 million will be distributed over the next seven years (2023-29) to organizations in these communities. An initial $7.7 million has now been released for organizations to use over the next three to four years in two areas: Mental Health and Well-being, and Flourishing Families. And, a total of $3 million has been awarded to be used over the next five years as part of the Healthy Communities Initiative. This funding will support three community-based collaborative groups in Brockton, Randolph, and Waltham.
