Healthy at Home Act: Combating Mold and Boosting Safety in Federal Housing
This Act aims to improve health and safety conditions in housing, with a focus on federally-assisted housing, by combating toxic mold and other hazards. It introduces new inspection standards, strengthens tenants' rights to information about building conditions, and imposes financial consequences on landlords who fail to make necessary repairs. Citizens will benefit from better health protection and greater awareness of their living environment's quality.
