Maring, Elisabeth Fost; Singer, Barbara Jones; Shenassa, Edmond
Journal of Extension, v49 n2 Article 2FEA9 Apr 2011
This article connects Extension education and the Healthy Homes Initiative. Background on housing research and education is provided in the context of four issues (toxic materials, dangerous gases, hazards related to asthma, and other residential hazards). The federally funded Healthy Homes Partnership is described, and implications for collaboration with county, state, and federal governments; universities; and community organizations are described. Examples of Extension programming in Healthy Homes across states are presented. Recommendations for research and the development of educational materials are made. (Contains 1 table.)
