DSHA and American Heart Association Team Up to Fight Heart Disease in Public Housing

Two major organizations are joining forces to improve the heart health of Delaware residents living in public housing communities across Kent and Sussex counties.

The Delaware State Housing Authority (DSHA) and the Delaware chapter of the American Heart Association (AHA) have announced a new partnership focused on reducing the risk of stroke, hypertension, and heart disease among people living in DSHA-managed public housing.

As part of the effort, residents will receive tools that allow them to monitor their own blood pressure at home, along with educational materials designed to help them better understand and manage their cardiovascular health.

The announcement was made on June 29, 2026, and represents a collaborative push to bring health resources directly into the communities where residents live.
