PATHWAYS TO A HEALTHY HOME FOR NORTHERN CHEYENNE TENANTS
Our Education Director John Marian in Montana has been strengthening Red Feather’s partnership with the Northern Cheyenne Tribal Housing Authority. The Housing Authority invited John to help educate over 300 tenants of their low income housing program about home maintenance, indoor air quality and energy efficiency. The seminar is called “Pathways to a Healthy Home” and touches on several subjects such as how to reduce heating bills during the winter, how to improve the air quality of a home and how to make low cost natural home cleaners. The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive as tenants say, “they enjoyed the learning process”. We plan to reach all the tenants by the end of summer.
