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.
