Food and housing security are linked contexts necessary for health, stability, and sustainability. In response to community-identified needs to improve food- and housing-related outcomes for people experiencing homelessness (PEH) in an urban setting. This planning grant will bring together expertise from PEH, civic, and academic collaborators to pilot a community-designed, systems-based intersectional resource hub. An Intersectional Food Access Rights for Marginalized communities (IFARM) Hub will be co-designed with PEH and community members, and co-located and linked with services, programs, and initiatives supporting various aspects of food and housing security. The IFARM Hub will bridge gaps between essential food resources and community needs for those experiencing food and housing insecurity in the underserved Glendale community on Salt Lake City’s west side. The IFARM Hub will use participatory, systems-based, intersectional approaches and methodologies to aggregate housing, health, social, transportation, and technology services to meaningfully increase healthy food and resource access. In collaboration with PEH and the nonprofit Green Phoenix Farm (GPF), the project will connect PEH with essential community resources, including nutritious foods, by extending GPF’s services and integrating it with other community-based organizations while concurrently assessing increased reach to broader housing- and food-insecure populations. Siting the IFARM Hub at the GPF, which employs women experiencing homelessness, leverages existing strengths of the farm’s off-grid solar array, which powers the farm’s refurbished shipping containers and reclaimed materials, including a walk-in cooler, produce packaging facility, computer lab, and office. The IFARM Hub will be housed in this shipping container-based infrastructure, inclusive of vertical space, to increase production, extend GPF’s seasonal growing capacity, and deepen integration with local communities.The proposed research will work closely with PEH, community groups and key stakeholders to design mixed-methodology assessment plans to appraise the feasibility and effectiveness of the IFARM Hub. We will identify indicators of success from multiple stakeholders’ perspectives, with particular attention to needs identified by PEH, and anticipate increased access to nutrient-rich foods by larger numbers of PEH will be a key effectiveness outcome. Maintaining fidelity to community-engaged research practices, our research will identify key stakeholders in underrepresented communities, define success in health and social outcomes according to PEH and community collaborators, derive key metrics of health and social outcomes, identify current connectivity gaps, identify technological resources necessary for a sustainable community hub, and identify key facilitators and processes necessary for scaling the IFARM Hub for PEH to other comparable urban settings. This project is part of the CIVIC Innovation Challenge which is a collaboration of NSF, the Department of Energy's Vehicle Technology Office, and the Department of Homeland Security's Science and Technology Directorate and Federal Emergency Management Agency.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

粮食和住房安全是健康，稳定和可持续性所需的相关环境。为了应对社区认可的需求，需要改善与城市环境中无家可归者（PEH）的人们相关的粮食和住房相关的结果。这项计划赠款将汇集PEH，CIVIC和学术合作者的专业知识，以试行一个社区设计的，基于系统的基于系统的交叉资源中心。边缘化社区（IFARM）枢纽的交叉食品获取权将与PEH和社区成员共同设计，并与服务，计划和计划共同融合并与支持食品和住房安全方面的各个方面相关联。 IFARM枢纽将弥合基本食品资源与社区需求之间的差距，以实现盐湖城西侧服务不足的格伦代尔社区中的食物和住房不安全感的人。 IFARM枢纽将使用参与，基于系统的，交叉方法和方法来汇总住房，健康，社会，运输和技术服务，以有意义地增加健康的食品和资源获取。通过与PEH和非营利性绿色凤凰农场（GPF）合作，该项目将通过扩展GPF的服务并将其与其他基于社区的组织集成在一起，同时评估越来越多的住房和食品不确定性的人口，将PEH与基本的社区资源（包括营养食品）联系起来。将IFARM HUB设置在GPF上，员工妇女无家可归，利用农场离网太阳能电池板的现有优势，为农场翻新的运输集装箱和再生材料提供动力，包括步入式冷却器，制作包装设施，计算机实验室和办公室。 IFARM HUB将安置在基于垂直空间的基于运输集装箱的基础架构中，以增加产量，扩展GPF的季节性增长能力并加深与当地社区的整合。拟议的研究将与PEH，社区团体和主要的利益相关者密切合作，以设计混合方法学评估计划，以设计混合方法论计划，以评估iFarm Hub的可行性和有效性。我们将从多个利益相关者的角度确定成功的指标，特别关注PEH确定的需求，并预计通过大量PEH获得养分丰富的食物的机会将是一个关键的有效性结果。 Maintaining fidelity to community-engaged research practices, our research will identify key stakeholders in underrepresented communities, define success in health and social outcomes according to PEH and community collaborators, derive key metrics of health and social outcomes, identify current connectivity gaps, identify technical resources Necessary for a sustainable community hub, and identify key facilitators and processes necessary for scaling the IFARM Hub for PEH to other comparable urban settings.该项目是公民创新挑战赛的一部分，该挑战是NSF，能源部的车辆技术办公室以及国土安全部科学技术局和联邦紧急事务管理局的合作。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是通过基金会的知识分子和广泛影响的评估来通过评估来获得支持的珍贵的支​​持。
