Fiscal Year 2008: Healthy Homes Demonstration Program activities have included hazard assessment and mitigation projects, national and local public education efforts, and housing-related hazard awareness training for health care and day care professionals, environmental specialists, peer educators and hazard remediation workers. Through two grants specifically targeting mold and moisture control in inner city housing, a visual assessment protocol, with linkages to work specifications, was developed. One education grant developed and launched a web-based "E-house" that enabled parents to "walk from room to room" identifying household pollutants, pathways of exposure and finding alternative products and services for minimizing potential health risks.
