Indoor air quality can make a big difference in the health and quality of life for all people in the home. Some gases, like radon and carbon monoxide, are deadly. Other air quality issues like particulate matter, allergens and molds can also negatively impact occupant health and should be controlled. The Healthy Homes Coalition helps families learn simple steps to improve air quality and avoid deadly hazards.
Thanks to support from the Michigan Health Endowment Fund and the generosity of Mike and Susan Jandernoa, the Healthy Homes Coalition is busy working with our partners at Well Design to build an online home screening application.
Very carefully, the staff at the Healthy Homes Coalition is working to support parents as they make their homes healthier for their children.
Our commitment to healthy environments for children connects us, inextricably, to many other injustices—including the current cry for policing reform. These injustices all find their root in racism. We are committed to working hard to both solve injustice and end racism.
