Profiles of Innovative State Programs: Wisconsin Healthy Homes Toolkit

The Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) provides a variety of resources on how to recognize and address indoor health hazards. In 2021, several agency programs worked together with non-profit organizations to create a toolkit and outreach program for promoting healthy homes during National Healthy Homes Month, which is observed in June each year. Although the toolkit is specific to Wisconsin, it provides information that may be useful in other jurisdictions as well.
