The Office on Women’s Health requires the services of a Contractor for implement and development, to participate in our pilot Women of Faith Advocacy initiative which is designed to meet the needs of women who experience gender-based violence and who identify themselves as members of a faith community. This program will focus specifically on specific geographical area to increase the participation of the faith community in prevention and intervention activities focused on areas under the auspices of Violence Against Woman (domestic violence, intimate partner violence, sexual assault, stalking, etc). The contractor shall be responsible for but not limited to the following task: Community Awareness Campaign: Garner support from the church, domestic violence providers in the community, and other community stakeholders. Develop a training manual for clergy application in the church. Research, develop, pilot and update new and existing resources for use in faith communities. Include training and follow –up. Build capacity for faith-based organizations to address the needs of women who are affected by gender-based violence otherwise referred to as areas under the auspices of Violence Against Women. To this end, the vendor will develop partnerships and linkages between the local organizations which provide services and resources to women who are victims of gender-based violence and build brokering relationships to identify, locate and link available resources to the faith based community Develop a training guide for female lay leaders in the faith community Collaborate with other pilot program partners and OWH staff to create a universal curriculum Implement a local evaluation and participate in a multi-site evaluation focused on the effectiveness of the Office on Women’s Health Pilot Women of Faith Advocacy Initiative. The Ann Arbor Community Center, Inc. is the only institutional entity of its kind in the Washtenaw County area that works to improve the health of women through programming which focuses on linking the communities of faith to community service providers focusing on violence against women. The Ann Arbor Community Center is leading the way in Washtenaw County, in integrating the social and human service disciplines into the fabric of the faith institution. The Ann Arbor Community Center is one of the three original pilot sites in the Women of Faith Advocacy initiative and their services are still needed to complete the project. Not awarding this contractor will adversely affect the outcomes of the pilot project and disrupt the process OWH has implemented to develop a program focused on preventing and addressing gender-based violence in faith-based communities.
