NEW HOME HEALTH ASSESSMENT PILOT LAUNCHED ON HOPI RESERVATIONDuring the first week of February 2016, Red Feather, with financial support from the Center for American Indian Resilience (CAIR), initiated a Home Health Assessment Training Pilot Program with the Hopi Community Health Department. In partnership with Northern Arizona University, Red Feather developed a home health assessment program based on best practices. Research indicates that when families get sick, the foundation for improving their health is built by improving their housing conditions. Families that participate in the program will receive a comprehensive home health assessment, health education training, and a healthy home kit with materials and information that permit homeowners to take actionable steps toward creating a healthier living environment. Red Feather expects to serve over 23 families in 2016 through this pilot. Click here to learn more about the research and the Center for American Indian Resilience.
