About Smokefree at Home
The American Lung Association, with support from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, is conducting the Smokefree at Home project to facilitate the successful implementation of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)’s smokefree housing rule and improve health outcomes for all residents, including those living with mental illness and substance use disorders. HUD’s smokefree housing rule will protect over two million people from secondhand smoke and the Smokefree at Home project will help all residents comply with the rule and avoid possible problems.
As part of this project, the Lung Association has partnered with Mental Health America (MHA) to create and disseminate educational resources and awareness messages specifically directed and culturally relevant to the behavioral health community. Our organizations are working together to provide learning and networking opportunities for Public Housing Agencies (PHA)’s, other housing providers, behavioral health advocates and public housing residents.
