Project Description

NCHH is collaborating with EPA to operate as a central knowledge base and provide flexible technical assistance to support communities in taking systems-level action to reduce indoor air risks. The purpose of the proposed work is to celebrate, map, and spread successful policies and systems; instigate new communities to take action; and encourage communities to climb the ladder of engagement, taking actions that achieve cross-sector partnerships and put sustainable, systems-level policies and programs in place. Without this support, many communities that are primed for change may not be able to mobilize effectively to improve indoor environments or expand and sustain existing efforts.

As part of this effort, NCHH selected five communities for a bundled award of coaching and support over 18 months that includes on-call access to technical assistance from a network of national experts, opportunities to engage in peer learning, and a $15,000 grant. A semifinalist was also selected to receive optional technical assistance and a $5,000 grant. Additional detail regarding the selected communities and their awarded projects is available here.
