Addressing indoor health barriers improves occupant health, lowers expenses, and supports general well-being, while creating real jobs in our communities. However, low-income communities are disproportionately affected by health and housing-related issues. In this session, presenters will discuss increased asthma rates and other health issues in low-income communities and barriers to improving health and accessing healthy home resources. Learn what can be done within our industry to address health disparities and inequities in the communities we serve.

Learning Objectives:

By attending this session, attendees will:
  • Describe differences in certain health outcomes among various populations.
  • Explain some of the reasons for these health disparities.
  • Discuss how the home performance industry can reduce health disparities.
