Project Description: The National Center for Healthy Housing (NCHH), with funding from EPA, will develop trainings for public health nurses, especially visiting nurses who perform home visits. Visiting nurses play a key role in achieving healthy housing as they are already in the home and can assess both the patient and environmental health hazards around the house. NCHH will carry out 12 trainings in conjunction with its Healthy Homes Training Center network partners: Johns Hopkins University School of Public Health, University of Washington, University of Cincinnati, and Boston University.
