What is a Healthy Home?

Everyone deserves to live in a safe and healthy home. A home has as much of an impact on the health of its residents as their lifestyle and diet. “Healthy Homes” is a century-old concept that promotes safe, decent, and sanitary housing as a means for preventing disease and injury.

A Healthy Home is one that is dry, clean, safe, well-ventilated, free of pests and contaminants, well-maintained, and thermally controlled. Learn more about the eight principles of a healthy home(PDF, 474KB).
