Overview
The mission of Health African-American Families (HAAF) is to improve the health outcomes of the African American and Latino communities in Los Angeles County. Started as a project with the Center for Disease Control project in 1992, HAAF became an independent organization in 2002. This grant is recommended to support the "Implications for the Implementation of AB 32 on Communities of Color" conference and follow up community engagement and advocacy activities. The goal is to ensure that communities of color are part of the environmental debate focused on the implementation of AB 32, in order to guarantee that they benefit from the remedies that are going to be put in place. This grant is timely and needed since policy makers will make key decisions on how to prevent harm and benefit vulnerable communities in 2009. This grant would further Hewlett's efforts to broaden the base of stakeholder support for efforts to reducing air pollution and addressing climate change. (New, $50,000/1; 75% of project budget)
