FISCAL IMPACT:

Acceptance of the Grant Award will result in payment to the County of up to $200,000 in funding from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. No County match is required.











BACKGROUND:

The goal of this grant is to provide funding to Lifelong Medical Care and La Clinica de la Raza to allow them to implement the Asthma Home Visiting Programs by providing in-home asthma trigger assessment, treatment, education and minor home remediation for patients insured through Medicaid, with the existing Health Promoters and Promatora Programs. This grant is designed to provide training on air quality, air pollution mitigation and a Community Action Model that empowers patients and community members to be decision-making stakeholders in local initiatives and policies. This Project will bring both programs together to work hand-in-hand.
