8 Principles of a Healthy Home
Healthy homes also save energy, stand strong against natural disasters, and can help provide access to important places and resources like schools, healthy food, health care, and parks.
The program works with other government agencies, local leaders, nonprofits, and individuals in the community to tackle housing-related health and safety issues, fight for fairness in housing and environmental matters, and help at-risk communities prepare for and adapt to extreme weather and natural disasters.
