The California Department of Health Care Services awarded the Asthma Mitigation Project contract to The Center at Sierra Health Foundation. This statewide program will provide $12 million in funding for grantees, plus additional support through technical assistance and evaluation services, for local health departments, medical providers and community-based organizations to offer culturally and linguistically appropriate asthma home visiting services to individuals with poorly controlled asthma, with a focus on low-income communities and communities of color that have disproportionate rates of asthma. In addition, activities lead to increased capacity to serve individuals with poorly controlled asthma, increased advocacy related to prevention and treatment of asthma, and a network of partners to engage in asthma preventive services.
We’re pleased to announce awards for the Asthma Mitigation Project’s second funding round, with a total of $1.85 million supporting six organizations. Access the list of awarded round two organizations (.pdf).
In August 2020, The Center awarded $10 million to 22 organizations to support their efforts to improve asthma self-management, decrease exposure to environmental triggers and improve asthma outcomes. Access the list of awarded round one organizations (.pdf).
