Help Yourself to a Healthy Home

The Healthy Homes Initiative builds upon the activities of CSREES and HUD that address housing-based health and safety risks. Its network of state coordinators have partnered with state agencies, medical professionals, schools, and community groups to educate families on home health hazards. A number of resources have been produced to support this effort.
