Healthy Homes Initiative
The Healthy Homes Initiative is a partnership
between CSREES and the U.S. Department of
Housing and Urban Development (HUD). It provides,
through a growing network of state coordinators,
information about home health hazards and
steps that can be taken to avoid them.
Data from 2007 data indicate the program
reached 205,318 consumers. The self-help booklet Help
Yourself to a Healthy Home was distributed
to more than 150,000 consumers and has also been translated into Spanish, Hmong, Bosnian, and Vietnamese.
The Healthy Homes Initiative also trained
more than 440 extension agents, 1,700 health
department officials, 260 social service
professionals, 920 day care providers, and
930 nonprofit organizations.
