ARC and HRiA awarded Kresge Foundation grant
The Kresge Foundation has awarded HRiA a two year grant to support the Asthma Regional Council's Healthy Homes Promotion Project (H2P2). This funding will support three important components of this project across New England: 1) encouraging health insurance providers to finance home-based environmental interventions and asthma education, 2)encouraging governmental programs to adopt holistic and integrated healthy homes models via strategic planning and training; and 3) promoting national dissemination of our cutting-edge approaches and successes. We anticipate that this will improve asthma outcomes across New England. The grant period is Jan. 1, 2010 - Dec. 31, 2011.
On October 12, 2011 ARC and close to 50 co-signers submitted testimony requesting that the Institute of Medicine examine and address the non-clinical best practice components of comprehensive asthma management as part of Community Based
Non-Clinical Prevention Policies and Wellness Strategies.
Over 50 organizations and individuals joined ARC and Health Resources in Action in expressing to New England U.S. Senator4s our extreme concern about the proposed complete elimination of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) Healthy Homes and Lead Poisoning Prevention Program by the Senate Appropriations Committee in the proposed FY12 spending bill for Labor, Health and Human Services and Education.
