scroll down the page to view: The training complements hazard-specific training in lead-based paint, radon, mold, pests, and asbestos. It identifies root causes of health problems in a home and links them to seven principles of healthy housing: keep it dry; keep it clean; keep it pest-free; keep it ventilated; keep it safe, Keep It Contaminant-Free; and maintain the house. Course participants will have a better understanding of how to collaborate to make healthy homes a reality in their community. This course trains CHWs to provide one-on-one and large group education on healthy homes, provide general advice about specific healthy homes problems, and be able to recommend healthy homes approaches to be taken by families, landlords and other community members. The IPM in Multi-Family Housing course is designed to help a property manager, including a public housing authority, implement a comprehensive integrated pest management (IPM) program by bringing the stakeholders, especially resident leaders, together to develop the skills and practices needed to effectively eliminate pests such as cockroaches and rodents from multi-family housing. Participants in the course will learn about strategies for combining healthy homes and energy efficiency work for more of a “one-touch” home improvement approach. This approach is more convenient for the owner or tenant, is a more efficient use of staff time and public funds, and it is a way to be sure that one repair does not leave behind a bigger problem unbeknownst to a contractor only trained in energy efficiency. Students who complete the course will be able to: 1. Explain the connections between resident health and housing condition based on the latest and most authoritative science. 2. Describe the prevalence of common housing maintenance problems based on the American Housing Survey. 3. Identify health-related provisions of the state and local housing codes and the International Property Maintenance Code (IPMC) that would improve resident health if achieved. 4. Describe strengths and weaknesses of various enforcement strategies on resident health. If you have any questions please contact:
