Adverse Pregnancy Outcomes Reporting System (APORS) Case Management Services

Program Description
The New Directions grant addresses two urgent needs currently facing residents from the North Lawndale community, which is part of the West Empowerment Zone/Enterprising Communities Cluster: the need for leaner, stronger, more savvy community organizations to serve the many low-income residents; and 2) need for affordable and accessible housing in North Lawndale.
Impact on UIC: Increased involvement of UIC faculty, staff, and students and an increase of courses will be taught in COPC-related activities: seven more UIC faculty/staff, approximately 300 additional students, and two courses a studio course in the Communications Department and another course, a research assistant seminar, through the UIC Neighborhoods Initiative, respectively.
