WHY DO WE CARE?
Housing impact on health:Physical, chemical, biological exposuresPsychological
Young children spend about 70% of the time in their home.

WHY DO WE CARE?
Annual costs for environmentally attributable childhood diseases in the U.S: $54.9 billion.
$43.9 Billion from Lead Poisoning$ 9.2 Billion from Neurobehavioral Disorders$ 2.0 Billion from Asthma$ 0.3 Billion from Childhood Cancer
Additional costs (e.g., lost days of school/work).Asthma contributes 3% of total health care costs.

The strength of a nation derives from the integrity
of the home.Confucius
Home is the place where, when you have to go there, They have to take you in.
Robert Frost
One of our deepest needs is to be at home.
Timothy Radcliffe
He is happiest, be he king or peasant, who finds peace in
his home. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
It may be frail; its roof may shake; the wind may blow through it; the storms may enter; the rain
may enter – but the King of England cannot enter; all his
forces dare not cross the threshold of the ruined tenement.
William Pitt
Where thou art, that is
home. Emily Dickinson
Home is
where the
heart is.Pliny
There’s no place like home.Dorothy, Wizard of Oz
