Tobacco Prevention

The City of Austin Health and Human Services Department (COAHHSD) is seeking to partner with One Voice Central Texas to implement a grant from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) under the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services via the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, to help reduce tobacco use prevalence and exposure to secondhand tobacco smoke under the Communities Putting Prevention to Work (CPPW) initiative.

This is a link to a one-page description of specific ways in which nonprofits could be engaged and the possible incentives for them (creating non-smoking campuses, connection with Seton smoking cessation on-site, etc), that members may find useful:
