Priorities
CHHC members address healthy housing from multiple perspectives. As a result, the coalition’s priorities represent a comprehensive approach towards achieving healthy housing for all. CHHC organizes itself into three workgroups focused on the following priorities:
-
Habitability – Combat substandard housing conditions affecting many low-income renters, such as pest infestations and mold.
-
Indoor Air Quality – Reduce exposure to contaminants in the home, including pesticides, tobacco smoke, and outdoor pollution.
-
Lead Poisoning Prevention – Eliminate exposure to lead hazards in the home and improve the identification of and support to lead poisoned children.
