Make the Most of Your August: New Tools and Resources from National Center for Healthy Housing

Each week in August we will highlight new NCHH tools and resources meant to help translate broad policies into specific actions. Many of these tools were developed in partnership with community-based organizations advancing their own efforts to establish or expand home-based asthma services. These resources provide an opportunity to learn from other communities’ real-world experiences and put into practice new information that will help your own program move forward.

Log in to the eLearning website, enroll in the free course, and check out the section titled “Technical Assistance.” There you will find resources and tools, including videos, slide presentations, step-by-step guides, downloadable templates, worksheets and more.

The mission of NCHH is to secure healthy homes for all and reduce health disparities through partnerships, community-based research and advocacy. With the support of EPA, NCHH developed new mini-modules and TA tools to support the design and implementation of asthma home-visiting programs and other in-home asthma environmental interventions. These tools are in addition to the eLearning modules previously developed by NCHH’s Building Systems to Sustain Home-Based Asthma Services that cover topics including Medicaid reimbursement, business case development, workforce and training, evaluation and reporting, and more.
