Many
health and safety hazards in the home are preventable. Organizations,
such as community organizations, state and local governments, and
federally-recognized Indian tribes, are educating and mobilizing
community groups to take action to control hazards and create healthy
home environments. In order to assist groups with home hazard assessment
and intervention, a number of federal initiatives offer funding
for programs to improve residential health and safety. Information
and links to HHI and other federal resources are provided below.
Application
Kit for the Healthy Homes Demonstration Program - The Healthy
Homes Demonstration Program builds upon OHHLHC's existing activities
involving housing-related health and safety issues to address multiple
childhood diseases and injuries in the home. Issues addressed by
the program include:
|
lead hazard control, |
|
building structure safety, |
|
electrical safety, and |
|
fire protection. |
The
demonstration program provides funding for projects that demonstrate
effective hazard assessment and intervention methods, as well as
projects that focus on public education and outreach efforts. These
programs provide funding to State, local, and Indian tribal governments
as well as not-for-profit and for-profit organizations.
Application
Kit for the Healthy Homes and Lead Technical Studies - The
Healthy Homes and Lead Technical Studies funds research on health
and safety hazards in the home with the aim of developing accurate,
cost-effective methods for assessing and controlling these hazards.
The program provides funding to State, local, and Indian tribal
governments as well as not-for-profit and for-profit organizations.
Annexes

program and the forms, certifications, and assurances needed when
