Healthy Housing Index

The Healthy Housing Index is a tool that assesses the quality of a home based on conditions that can impact health. It considers factors like indoor air quality, presence of mold or pests, ventilation, heating, safety features, and overall cleanliness. By evaluating these aspects, the index helps identify homes that may pose health risks and guides improvements to create safer, healthier living environments. It’s used by health professionals, housing authorities, and researchers to promote healthier housing standards and reduce health problems caused by poor housing conditions.
