The pilot program partners the local health district and apartment association to certify properties that adopt smoke-free policies. So far two properties with around 150 tenants have been certified, with 13 more in process.

The document provides information about the State Rental Assistance Program (SRAP) administered by the Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services. The program provides rental assistance to individuals with developmental disabilities to allow them to rent private market housing of their choosing. To be eligible, individuals must meet certain criteria including having a developmental disability, income requirements, and not receiving other forms of housing assistance.

Public housing authorities then determine financial eligibility and screen for criminal history before approving assistance.
AHS - ObamaCare 3
The Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare, was established on March 23, 2010 under President Barack Obama. It aims to expand access to affordable health insurance by opening state-run health insurance exchanges. While intended to increase access to healthcare, Obamacare remains controversial with Democrats generally supporting it and Republicans opposing it. Over the next ten years, the program is expected to cost the government $1.1 trillion but reduce the federal deficit by $200 billion.

Nevada December 17
Several Nevada organizations wrote to Representative Amodei requesting that the House Appropriations Committee lift the federal ban on funding for syringe service programs (SSPs). They argued that SSPs are proven to be highly effective and cost saving in reducing HIV and hepatitis infections and connecting people to medical care and treatment services without increasing drug use. They cited the success of Northern Nevada HOPES' syringe exchange program in Reno, which has safely disposed of over 89,000 used syringes and referred over 100 clients to medical care and treatment. Lifting the federal ban would allow similar programs to be established in Las Vegas and southern Nevada to achieve comparable public health benefits and healthcare savings.

Guidelines for Writing Advocacy Letters
1. State clearly, what you would like your reader to do.
2. Explain briefly why you think that he/she should do this. Help your reader
understand the need for action on his/her part, but avoid giving so much detail that
you bore or annoy him/her.
3. If the action you are requesting would require the reader to contact you, provide your
telephone number, fax number, and/or e-mail address.
The following additional guidelines will be helpful when drafting your letter:
• Locate Your Policy Maker’s Name and Addresses
Most local telephone books have a section dedicated to the office addresses and
telephone numbers of local elected officials. They may be listed by district
numbers. Internet websites can display this information based upon your zip
code.
• Use Formal Business Letter Style
The date should be at the top of the page. The policymaker name and address
should be just below, on the left margin, above the salutation. Close with a
handwritten signature and your typed address, e-mail, and phone number.
• Introduce Yourself
Begin your letter with a brief introduction including your name, city of residence,
and indicating your credentials. It is helpful to state that you reside in the area to
which the policy maker is assigned.
• Provide an Overview of your Issue or Topic.
Using data and statistics can really help make your case. Make sure these are
reliable and accurate.
• State the “Ask”
Within the first paragraph, be clear on what you are asking the policy maker to
do. Are you asking to develop a policy, earmark funding, or create a program?
• Make it Personal
Policy makers are most influenced when they can see how something affects
constituents directly. Tell a story about why this important or why you have a
passion for this topic.
• Wrap-Up
Restate your “ask.” Offer to provide additional information. Always thank them
and provide your contact information.

2019 State of the Rockies Voter Survey
- A survey of 3,200 registered voters was conducted in 8 Western states regarding priorities for public lands and environmental policies.
- Voters strongly prefer that Congress emphasize conservation over energy production on public lands by a margin of over 2 to 1. Majorities in each state hold this view.
- Recent rollbacks of environmental laws protecting land, water, and wildlife are viewed as serious problems by over 75% of Westerners, up from the prior year. Specific policy changes removing protections for national monuments and smaller waterways are seen as "bad changes" by majorities in each state.

Guidelines for Writing Advocacy Letters
1. State clearly, what you would like your reader to do.
2. Explain briefly why you think that he/she should do this. Help your reader
understand the need for action on his/her part, but avoid giving so much detail that
you bore or annoy him/her.
3. If the action you are requesting would require the reader to contact you, provide your
telephone number, fax number, and/or e-mail address.
The following additional guidelines will be helpful when drafting your letter:
• Locate Your Policy Maker’s Name and Addresses
Most local telephone books have a section dedicated to the office addresses and
telephone numbers of local elected officials. They may be listed by district
numbers. Internet websites can display this information based upon your zip
code.
• Use Formal Business Letter Style
The date should be at the top of the page. The policymaker name and address
should be just below, on the left margin, above the salutation. Close with a
handwritten signature and your typed address, e-mail, and phone number.
• Introduce Yourself
Begin your letter with a brief introduction including your name, city of residence,
and indicating your credentials. It is helpful to state that you reside in the area to
which the policy maker is assigned.
• Provide an Overview of your Issue or Topic.
Using data and statistics can really help make your case. Make sure these are
reliable and accurate.
• State the “Ask”
Within the first paragraph, be clear on what you are asking the policy maker to
do. Are you asking to develop a policy, earmark funding, or create a program?
• Make it Personal
Policy makers are most influenced when they can see how something affects
constituents directly. Tell a story about why this important or why you have a
passion for this topic.
• Wrap-Up
Restate your “ask.” Offer to provide additional information. Always thank them
and provide your contact information.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
