Resource Type: Report
Report providing information on how to develop a program logic model. Format is a PDF of a slide deck. Goal of the report is to describe the function of a logic model, identify key components, walk through developing a logic model, and describe how it can be used for evaluation planning.
Toolkit providing access to information and resources about evolving loan funds, which are an internal capital pool that is dedicated to funding energy reduction or onsite generation projects that generate cost savings. A portion of those savings are then used to replenish the fund (i.e. revolved) allowing for reinvestment in future projects of similar value.
The Chicago Department of Public Health (CDPH) analyzed community-level data on air quality, health, and social factors to identify neighborhoods that should be prioritized for efforts to mitigate and reduce air pollution to better protect public health. The report builds on the commitment to health and racial equity through Healthy Chicago 2025 and initiatives led by local environmental justice organizations. The aim is to provide a resource for future action on environmental health. In developing this report, they consulted with subject matter experts, advocacy groups, and community-based environmental justice organizations.
The Louisiana Tumor Registry website presents information about Louisiana’s statewide, population-based cancer registry, which collects detailed data on cancer cases to support prevention, early detection, treatment, and survivorship efforts. It offers resources for cancer registrars and providers on reporting requirements, and for data users—such as public health professionals, clinicians, planners, and researchers—through statistics, interactive data visualizations, cancer maps, monographs, and one-page summaries. The site also describes the Registry’s role in national programs (SEER and CDC’s NPCR), its research infrastructure (including rapid case ascertainment), and how its high-quality data are used to guide cancer control policies and reduce cancer burden and disparities in Louisiana.
The Fuel Alternatives and Options guide, provided by the Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM) through its DieselWise Indiana program, is a strategic resource for mayors looking to modernize municipal fleets and reduce the “diesel signature” in their cities.
Specifically, this webpage serves as a technical guide for city planners and fleet managers. It outlines the primary substitutes for traditional petroleum diesel, including Biodiesel, Compressed Natural Gas (CNG), Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG), Propane (LPG), Electricity, and Hydrogen. For each fuel type, the resource provides a breakdown of its chemical properties, compatibility with existing engines, environmental benefits, and the infrastructure required to support its adoption.
The Chicago Department of Public Health’s Cumulative Impact Assessment is a citywide initiative to measure how multiple environmental burdens and social stressors combine to affect health across Chicago neighborhoods. Co-designed with community organizations through an Environmental Equity Working Group, the assessment compiles data on pollution sources, health outcomes, and vulnerability factors to identify communities facing the greatest cumulative impacts. Its findings and recommendations are intended to guide policies on land use, zoning, permitting, enforcement, transportation planning, and other decisions, and it serves as a foundation for Chicago’s broader Environmental Justice Action Plan and proposed cumulative impacts ordinance.
