CHIP Healthy and Affordable Housing Workgroup

At least half of each day is spent inside people's houses. It seems to reason that one of the key factors affecting health and happiness is the home environment. The American Public Health Association (APHA) Committee on the Hygiene of Housing first clarified many of the fundamental ideas relating housing and health more than 60 years ago. There is a growing understanding that health is related to a dwelling unit's physical structure as well as the neighborhood and community in which it is located in the early twenty-first century.

CHIP Healthy and Affordable Housing Workgroup represents a cross-sector collaboration of community partners to address the goals within the Tulsa County CHIP. This health priority was a goal within the previous CHIPs, but now it stands as one of the three selected health priorities in our community. The Tulsa community is more committed than ever to increasing access to affordable and safe housing.
