| Purpose: | To develop, demonstrate, and promote cost-effective, preventive measures to correct safety and health hazards in the home that produce serious diseases and injuries to children in low-income families. This program promotes a comprehensive risk-reduction approach in order to control the building problems that contribute to many hazards, childhood diseases, and injuries, such as asthma, mold-induced illness, carbon monoxide poisoning, and other housing-related conditions.
Program funding is available for projects that implement housing assessment, maintenance, renovation, and construction techniques to identify and correct housing-related illness and injury risk factors, distribute healthy homes information, and replicate successful interventions.
