Healthcare Financing of Healthy Homes


With all of the emerging opportunities to finance healthy homes services through the healthcare system, it can be overwhelming to know where to start. This resource library provides an overview of key financing strategies, examples of home-based lead and asthma programs that are currently being financed through nonprofit hospitals and public or private insurance, and links to resources that are available to help state and local agencies, or other stakeholders, explore options for healthcare financing of healthy homes in their own communities.
