New Impression Inc, a Faith Based Social Service Agency, was founded in 2008, to address the serious shortage of safe, decent, affordable housing for low-income families. We are a registered 501(3)c) non profit corporation providing housing and comprehensive supportive services to homeless and at-risk families. Further, we are also health care advocates as well as we believe that people of color suffered increasing health issues due to their inability to secure affordable housing which contributes to stressors such as depression as well as other unhealthy addictions. To that end, we have partnered with the California Legislative Black Caucus, The City of Compton, and Compton High School to proclaim April 28, 2009 Diabetes Awareness Day for the City of Compton. Consequently we are in the planning stages of promoting the first Compton Annual Diabetes Walkathon to take place April 2010. We are actively looking for agencies to partner with us as well as fund this worthwhile and life changing events for the citizens of Los Angeles County.
Additionally, we have a 7 bed transitional house, The Sankofa House located in Watts which was acquired in 2009 and transformed into a facility offering shared living occupancy to the economically challenged. We currently offer comprehensive supportive services to the families residing in our facility. Our goal is to provide the families with financial assistance as the majority of the clients we serve initially do not have sufficient funds to pay the deposit and other program fees. Therefore we are actively seeking sponsorship from Corporations, Churches, and other Philanthropic entities.
In March we started a Foster Pet Referral Service, matching potential foster parents for pets of homeless children. To date we have made one match and actively looking for additional resources to expand our program. It is heartbreaking for a child to suffer the loss of his shelter,friends, and to lose their pet is overwhelming.

The American Heart Association is a national voluntary health agency whose mission is: "Building healthier lives, free of cardiovascular diseases and stroke."
This year the American Heart Association did what has never been done before. We defined ideal cardiovascular health by identifying seven health and behavior factors that affect health and quality of life: appropriate weight, nonsmoking, healthy eating pattern, regular exercise, and control of cholesterol, blood pressure and blood sugar. Creating this new definition was required to set a bold new goal to direct the association’s strategies for the next decade. We wanted to go beyond measuring mortality and individual risk factors to measure cardiovascular health itself. Defining cardiovascular health became the linchpin to our 2020 Impact Goal: By 2020, to improve the cardiovascular health of all Americans by 20 percent while reducing deaths from cardiovascular diseases and stroke by 20 percent.
Defining ideal cardiovascular health took much work over many months by an expert team of volunteers and staff. When that was done, the goal was presented to the AHA National Board of Directors and accepted. On Jan. 20, we documented the goal’s scientific and statistical support in a statement published in our premier publication, Circulation: Journal of the American Heart Association. The national media responded with widespread coverage.
Our work to define ideal cardiovascular health has enormous implications. Now, for the first time, health agencies and governments worldwide have a standard for measuring the cardiovascular health of individuals and populations. We have provided a framework for grouping people by overall health: Poor, Intermediate and Ideal. Now movement from one health category to another can be tracked.
Our 2020 Impact Goal has already had a tremendous impact. But this is just the beginning. We are excited about our ambitious new goal, but we’re even more excited about our new strategies and steps to achieve it. This truly is a defining moment for the association.
