Description
The Wisconsin Department of Health Services’ Site Evaluation Program (SEP) offers mini-grants to support new, innovative, expanded, or enhanced interventions that increase tenant and homeowner environmental health literacy in Tribal communities. Funded activities may include education, community engagement, collaboration, or other outreach that helps residents identify environmental hazards and protect themselves from harmful exposures in their homes.
Projects must address housing-related hazards involving indoor air quality, water quality, or soil contamination. Health equity and environmental justice should be central to project planning and implementation. The program emphasizes building on Tribal health departments’ and Tribal organizations’ existing community relationships and using or adapting strategies to meet each community’s identified needs.
