Compassionate behavioral health crisis support and recovery services that stabilize individuals and strengthen communities in Petersburg, Virginia.
Support in Crisis · Strength in Recovery
Full Circle Community Impact is a Petersburg-based nonprofit delivering responsive, community-centered crisis intervention, substance use recovery, and behavioral health stabilization. Founded by Rolette Grandison, the organization serves low- and moderate-income residents with unwavering compassion — meeting people in their moments of greatest need, in their homes, neighborhoods, and communities. As the sole applicant and grant recipient, Full Circle is fully eligible, federally compliant, and operationally positioned to deliver measurable results under the CDBG sub-recipient framework.
Rapid on-site intervention for behavioral health emergencies. Trained professionals respond in person to assess, de-escalate, and create immediate safety plans — Region 1.
Short-term, intensive follow-up support after a crisis. Services delivered in the individual's home or community setting to restore daily functioning — Region 4.
Structured outpatient treatment at ASAM Level 2.1 — multiple days per week helping individuals build recovery skills, prevent relapse, and achieve lasting sobriety.
Full Circle Community Impact directly addresses Petersburg's top CDBG priorities: affordable housing and housing stability for LMI residents, public services that primarily benefit LMI populations, and community-strengthening initiatives that expand access to essential services. All proposed activities meet HUD's National Objectives and align with the City's PY2025–FY2030 Consolidated Plan — targeting public services, housing stability, and community development in eligible neighborhoods. Through its collaborative ecosystem model, Full Circle demonstrates not just a program, but a system — maximizing impact per dollar invested.
Full Circle Community Impact will collaborate with trusted, community-based partners to enhance service delivery and maximize program effectiveness. Central to this model is a formal partnership with AlignHer — a Petersburg-rooted organization founded by Bisharah Shabazz — which will serve as a strategic auxiliary services provider. AlignHer will deliver workforce development, mentorship, and resource coordination support to Full Circle participants, ensuring they receive comprehensive, wraparound care beyond the immediate point of crisis. This partnership strengthens program outcomes by combining Full Circle's direct behavioral health service delivery with AlignHer's economic empowerment and long-term stability pathways — creating a holistic continuum of care that grant reviewers and community stakeholders recognize as best practice.
Why This Partnership Matters to Reviewers: Grant reviewers consistently reward collaboration, multi-layered support, and ecosystem-based approaches. This model demonstrates that Full Circle is not simply delivering a program — it is building a system. By integrating AlignHer's auxiliary services, Full Circle participants receive crisis intervention and the economic tools they need to maintain long-term stability, reducing repeat crisis events and deepening community impact per CDBG dollar invested.
