Each June, National Healthy Homes Month (NHHM) brings together its partners, including grantees, community-based and faith-based organizations, industry, state, tribal, local governments, health care providers, and many others, around two common goals. Coordinated by OLHCHH, their aims are:

• to increase awareness of housing-related health hazards, lead poisoning prevention, and the overall principles of a healthy home, especially for low-income populations
• to encourage residents to take steps for safe and healthy homes.

Especially given the challenges forced by the ongoing pandemic, it is vital to communicate to residents about no-cost or low-cost steps that families, especially those with children and older residents, should consider.
