The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health awarded a $593,882.50 Project Grant to the Western Reserve Land Conservancy (WRLC) under the Community Programs to Improve Minority Health Grant Program (CFDA 93.137). The grant project, titled "Restoring Health Equity and Resilience to Cleveland through Vacant Land Improvements," aims to improve health outcomes for racial and ethnic minority communities in Cleveland, Ohio through evidence-based interventions and innovative approaches addressing social determinants of health. The 4-year project, running from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2028, will leverage WRLC's expertise in habitat preservation, urban reforestation, and ecological enhancement to deliver critical environmental conservation, restoration, and community development services. Key activities include acquiring conservation easements, restoring wetland and upland ecosystems, planting trees in low-canopy urban neighborhoods, developing carbon credit programs, and creating environmental planning frameworks for vacant land management.
