NIFA collaborates with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) on the Healthy Homes Partnership (HHP) to support research, education, and extension programs that increase home health and safety, improve family health, and build stronger communities.
Since 1999, the HHP has addressed multiple housing related problems that affect the health of children and families. This cooperation resulted in funding to a Land-Grant University for oversight of the Healthy Homes Partnership involving numerous states delivering educational programs through the Land-Grant University System.
These efforts have mobilized individual actions and improved environmental decision-making skills among millions of consumers. For more information, visit Health Homes Portal.
