Abstract
Healthy Indoor Air for America’s Homes is a collaborative interagency effort with the goal of delivering basic but comprehensive indoor air quality information to consumers and built environment professionals. Funding has been provided from the U.S. Department of Agriculture - Cooperative State Research, Education, and Extension Service and the Environmental Protection Agency. The development and implementation of the program was outlined in this article, beginning with an initial project team and emerging as a nationwide program. Outreach outcomes were numerous, positively impacting thousands of consumers. Research initiatives were also described, including the development of two demonstration houses. The program celebrated its tenth year during the 2005 conference of the Housing Education and Research Association. Healthy Indoor Air for America’s Homes can be considered as a successful partnership with bright prospects for the future.
