We partner with neighborhoods that are under economic, environmental and health stress and help determine the risks to which residents are exposed and actions to be taken to reduce those risks. The communities in which we live and work have been disproportionately affected by pollution in the past and present and will continue to be unless changes are made. These communities have the fewest resources to address the issues that affect their families and homes. We conduct risk reduction and healthy homes interventions, provide technical assistance, conduct community participatory research, offer educational opportunities, respond to community needs and implement programs to make immediate and long-term impacts. We work to create a sustainable world with environmental responsibility and opportunity for all people regardless of economic, ethnic, nationality or gender status, and to create self-sustaining, community-based partnerships that continue to improve the health and safety of the community. Our programs include water harvesting, renewable energy, healthy homes, fair housing, fire prevention and safety, and childhood lead poisoning prevention.
