Strategies

Adjust and monitor fluoride levels in public water supplies to reach and retain optimal fluoride concentrations

Provide grants to states and localities to fund activities that build, buy, or rehabilitate affordable housing for rent or homeownership, or provide direct rental assistance to households with low incomes

Support funds that help create or maintain affordable housing, subsidize rental housing, and assist homebuyers with low incomes and non-profit housing developers

Provide funds to households with low incomes to meet home energy needs, especially for households with children, older adults, or individuals with disabilities

Establish tenant protections via regulations to the housing rental market such as limits on rent increases and eviction protections for tenants with low incomes; typically via rent stabilization

Provide sealants, fluoride treatment, screening, and other preventive dental care on school grounds via partnerships with dental professionals

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