The U.S. Departments of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and Health and Human Services (HHS) recently launched the Smoke-Free Housing Toolkits, which are designed to encourage and guide public housing authorities and private owners of federally assisted multifamily housing developments to adopt smoke-free policies to protect residents from the dangers of second-hand smoke and to reduce property maintenance costs. The owner’s toolkit includes HUD’s guidance to public housing authorities and multifamily housing owners/managers, such as: a guide to implementing no-smoking policies; a sample resident survey; frequently asked questions; and other useful resources. The residents’ kit includes a going smoke-free guide, a home smoke-free pledge kit, and additional education materials about second-hand smoke.
