Housing and Institution Safety
The quality of our housing is a
significant determinant of health, and directly or indirectly affects the physical, social
and mental well-being of each resident. The housing and institution safety program helps
to assure that rental housing is maintained in a healthful and sanitary manner; that day
camps and organized camps are maintained and operated in a safe and sanitary manner; and
that environmental lead exposure
levels are reduced for children.
This is accomplished by responding to complaints, conducting annual inspections of
detention facilities, day use camps, and organized camps; and the prompt investigation and
resolution of lead poisoning cases in children by evaluating
housing environments, testing suspect paint, soil, toys, foods, and ethnic medicines.
