Healthy Homes Program
The Healthy Homes Program (HHP) is part of HUD’s overall Healthy Homes Initiative launched in 1999. The program takes a comprehensive approach to addressing and focusing on housing-related hazards in a coordinated fashion, rather than addressing a single hazard at a time. The program builds upon HUD’s successful Lead Hazard Control programs to expand the Department’s efforts to address a variety of high-priority environmental health and safety hazards.
Program objectives
Maximize both the number of vulnerable residents protected from housing-related environmental health and safety hazards and the number of housing units where these hazards are controlled
Identify and remediate housing-related health and safety hazards in privately owned, low-income owner-occupied housing, especially in units and/or buildings where families with children, older adults sixty-two (62) years and older, or families with persons with disabilities reside
Promote cost-effective and efficient healthy home methods and approaches that can be replicated and sustained
Support public education and outreach that furthers the goal of protecting children and other vulnerable populations from housing-related health and safety hazards
