Healthy Housing Collaborative Vision 2007
This document presents a vision for healthy housing in Rhode Island, advocating for programmatic and policy changes to create a systematic approach to addressing housing-related health issues. It details the impacts of unhealthy housing due to factors such as asthma, lead poisoning, pest infestation, housing instability, disabilities, injuries, indoor air quality, and noise. The plan outlines action steps in data and research, training, reporting, and policy, aiming to establish housing that is healthy, affordable, secure, accessible, well-maintained, and offers diverse choices, ultimately improving health outcomes and fostering sustainable communities across the state.
