The Asthma Program
The Asthma Program provides asthma case management services and resources for adults and seniors in Long Beach. The program, Asthma Life Skills Academy for Adults (ALSAA), is adapted from the American Lung Association’s “Breathe Well, Live Well” curriculum, where participants learn real, hands-on skills to effectively manage their asthma.
Lead-Based Paint Program
Homes built in the United States before 1978 could contain lead-based paint. Lead poisoning in children ages 1-5 can damage their brain and nervous system and cause behavior and learning problems. The Lead-Based Paint Program targets housing with potential lead paint problems to ensure lead hazards are remediated.
Healthy Home Initiative
Many simple changes int he home and in housing-related behaviors can promote healthy and safety at home. The Healthy Homes Program, funded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), helps homeowners in need of minor repairs to their aging homes in Long Beach.
