A century ago, advances in housing—everything from indoor plumbing to vented combustion appliances—were driven by the need to protect health. Today, the link between good housing and good health is often overlooked or taken for granted. In fact, housing directly affects everyone’s health, and conditions in our homes can cause or contribute to many diseases, including asthma and lead poisoning. Addressing housing-related health hazards can significantly improve occupants’ health and quality of life while saving billions of dollars in health care costs.
