Strategies

Train volunteers, professionals, or paraprofessionals to help residents assess and reduce environmental home health risks and recommend low cost changes (e.g., improved ventilation, integrated pest management, etc.)

Support a four-tiered approach to indoor pest control that minimizes potential hazards to people, property, and the environment

Eliminate lead-based paint and contaminated dust by removing or encapsulating lead paint, or removing lead painted fixtures and surfaces

Establish programs that accept expired, unwanted, or unused medicines from designated users and dispose of them responsibly

Create designated tax districts that generate revenue to invest in affordable housing initiatives, blight remediation, and economic development efforts
