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

The connection between health
and the dwelling of the population
is one of the most important that exists.

Housing conditions have an important impact on public
health.
Most people spend an average of up to 90% of their time indoors.

More than 6 million substandard housing units nationwide
Residents of substandard housing are at increased risk for exposure to lead, carbon monoxide, mold, cockroaches, dust mites, pesticide residues, tobacco smoke, combustion gases, and radon, rat bites, and falls.
Children in substandard housing are more likely to have elevated blood lead levels and to have ever been diagnosed with asthma.
Children, the elderly, African Americans, Native Americans, and the poorest Americans are at greatest risk for fire-related injuries and deaths.
