HHI Grantee and Partner Information

Information by State  Print version   Did You Know? Since 1999, HHI has awarded $21.2 million in demonstration and education grants, $6.4 million in technical studies (research) grants, and $4 million in mold and moisture grants.

Health hazards in the home environment can lead to serious childhood diseases and injuries. The Healthy Homes Initiative (HHI) provides grant funding on a competitive basis to develop, demonstrate, and promote cost-effective methods of making homes safer.

HHI awards competitive grants for up to three years to public agencies and community organizations. The grants range from approximately $250,000 to $1,500,000. Grant competitions to-date yielded a total of 41 grants in these categories:

	Demonstration projects that implement housing assessment, maintenance, renovation, and construction techniques that identify and correct housing-related illness and injury risk factors.
	Education projects that disseminate healthy homes information to residents and replicate successful interventions in communities. Funding for these efforts is now awarded under demonstration grants.
	Technical Studies (Research) projects that develop new methods of evaluating and controlling housing-based hazards.
	Mold and Moisture Control projects that assist state and local governments undertaking demonstration projects that specifically prevent mold and moisture problems in inner-city housing occupied by families with young children (awarded in FY 1999 only). These projects focus on communities in which exposure to toxigenic molds has been linked to cases of acute pulmonary hemorrhage and death in infants.
