This summer, The Center for Native Health and NCICS worked closely with the Museum of Life and Science to conduct an indoor monitoring campaign focused on the impacts of indoor heat on manufactured housing and the impact of temperature inversions. The campaign expanded on existing outdoor air quality monitoring data and connected youth with elders.

The CCHM is working with WE ACT to co-develop a community-based research design for an indoor campaign in New York City, where tenants often struggle to access effective and affordable cooling in high-rise apartments during summer heatwaves. The project will resume in spring 2026.
