Children and seniors bear the greatest burden from home-related environmental and safety exposures, but everyone deserves a safe and healthy home. Since 2005, the National Healthy Homes and Lead Poisoning Prevention Training Center has trained over 1,000 staff in practical strategies to build programs, develop strategic coalitions, improve care coordination, and support housing-based primary prevention.
