The Alabama State University (ASU) received a $187,809 Project Grant from the Delta Regional Authority under the Delta Area Economic Development program (CFDA 90.201) to address the significant shortage of rural social workers in Alabama's Black Belt counties. The two-year grant, awarded on April 18, 2024, will support ASU's efforts to recruit and retain social workers in these underserved rural areas. As a historically black university, ASU is well-positioned to leverage its expertise and community connections to enhance healthcare and social service delivery in the targeted Black Belt region.
