HUD's Healthy Homes Program

Mary Lou K. Crane, MS, New England, US Dept. of Housing and Urban Development, , Mary_Lou_Crane@hud.gov

The purpose of the Healthy Homes Initiative is to develop, demonstrate and promote cost effective, preventive measures to correct multiple safety and health hazards in the home environment which produce serious diseases and injuries in children. HUD is interested in reducing health threats to the maximum number of residents, including children, in homes throughout the nation. The Healthy Homes Initiative builds upon HUD's existing housing related hazard control, building structural safety, electrical safety, and fire protection to address injuries and multiple childhood diseases in a more coordinated fashion.
