Regional Asthma Management & Prevention (RAMP) and the National Center for Healthy Housing are pleased to share our resource, Sustainable Financing for Home-Based Asthma Services: Snapshots of Innovation and Progress Across the Country.
Despite robust evidence about the impact of home-based services, asthma home visiting programs historically have had to rely on unstable grant funding to provide services. But in recent years, that pattern has begun to shift, and we have seen progress in communities and states across the country in building systems for sustainable asthma home visiting services.
Sustainable Financing for Home-Based Asthma Services: Snapshots of Innovation and Progress Across the Country, jointly developed by RAMP and the National Center for Healthy Housing provides an overview of what progress and pathways for building systems to expand and sustain access to home-based asthma services might look like. Progress can take a long time, and there are many pathways for achieving similar outcomes. As such, progress can look different from one place to the next.
The tool features success stories from across the country, highlighting both state Medicaid policy advances, and stories about local partnerships, pilot programs, and other innovations that create a groundswell for statewide change; all serving as models for new community action.
