COURSE DESCRIPTION

The Healthy Housing conferences bring together professionals from health, housing, community development, community groups, advocacy organizations, the lead industry, real estate firms, and residential and commercial facilities to explore ways to undertake programs and projects designed to prevent incidents of lead poisoning, eliminate indoor environmental hazards, and create healthy living and working environments.

Help You Meet the Challenges
The Lead and Healthy Housing Conferences Help You Meet the Challenges 

Environmental health practitioners, health educators, environmental hazard remediation professionals, and building operators face growing challenges. From tight budgets to issues of political and public support to determining appropriate work practices and to questions of environmental science, they all face mounting concerns of how to effectively operate and sustain programs, projects and businesses. The main purpose of the conferences is to help attendees explore solutions to the challenges that are encountered each day in efforts to implement success programs.
 
Plenty of Time to Network and Establish Professional and Business Relationships
 
The conferences provide a perfect setting for environmental health practitioners, local and state government officials and industry practitioners to meet, exchange ideas and establish working relationships with one another. 

Learning from each other and renewing acquaintances are true benefits of participating in the Lead and Healthy Housing Conferences.
 
The Conference Serves the Interests of All the Stakeholders
  • State and Local Government Officials: public health practitioners, city housing and community development administrators, code officials, neighborhood improvement and housing rehab officials, Lead Hazard Control and Healthy Homes grantees
  • Health Advocates: community-based program administrators, health educators and neighborhood activists
