HUD Healthy Homes Initiative

The HUD Healthy Homes Initiative is a program designed to create safer and healthier living environments, particularly for low-income families and children. Managed by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), it aims to identify and address housing-related health risks, such as mold, lead paint, and pest infestations. By promoting better building practices and offering resources to improve home conditions, the initiative seeks to prevent health issues caused by poor housing. It collaborates with various organizations to educate communities on maintaining healthy homes and ensuring that everyone has access to safe living spaces.
