The CHW Financial Sustainability Planning Toolkit, created by envision in collaboration with national experts, is a comprehensive resource designed to help CHWs and CHW allies achieve financial sustainability.

While initially developed for recipients funded under the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) initiative CHWs for COVID Response and Resilient Communities (CCR), it has since been adapted to support all CHWs and CHW allies, regardless of their current funding situation.

The Toolkit addresses the complex challenges of CHW workforce sustainability and emphasizes the importance of relationships and relationship-building as a key strategy for advancing financial sustainability goals.
