The Essentials for Healthy Homes Practitioners
course brings together a
diverse mix of housing and health professionals to promote practical and
cost-effective methods for making homes healthier. A major strength of the
course is the peer-to-peer learning that occurs between students. Through
exercises, demonstrations and discussions, students better understand the
roles, perceptions and challenges that their counterparts face.
And they identify ways to coordinate their work to better protect residents from
environmental and safety hazards in the home.
Property managers have a tremendous impact on
healthy homes. If they recognize the specific connections between health
and housing problems, they can have a significant positive impact on the health
of residents. Where they miss the connections, their decisions can result
in significant problems. Property managers will benefit from the course
because it will help them:
-
Identify connections between structural
problems, maintenance challenges, and potential health impacts to better convince residents of the need to address shortcomings;
-
Avoid creating environmental hazards;
-
Develop networks among the public health and
housing community to strengthen the quality of their services; and
-
Gain insight into the perspectives of nurses,
code inspectors, environmental health specialists, community-based
organizations, and pest management professionals that help all be more
effective.
