Healthy People and Healthy Communities through Improved Environmental Health Service Delivery: CDCs Procurement and Grants Office has published a funding opportunity announcement entitled, "Healthy People and Healthy Communities through Improved Environmental Health Service Delivery." $1,000,000 [this amount is an estimate, and subject to the availability of funds] will be available in fiscal year 2007 to fund up to 8 awards. The purpose of the program is to establish community efforts to improve the health and built environment of underserved populations by building effective environmental health programs and enhancing the delivery of environmental health services. Environmental health services may be defined as programs that ensure that communities have adequate air and water quality, access to safe food and shelter, effective vector control programs; and efficient or functional waste management systems, etc. The built environment is the space in which people live, work, and play. A properly managed built environment fosters community health, builds social support, and provides a safe place for people to live.
