Healthy Housing Fact Sheets

We want ourselves and our environment to be healthy, yet many of us are not aware of how our housing can affect our health and the health of our planet. That's why Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) launched the Healthy Housing initiative. CMHC's publications, videos and seminars educate consumers and people in the housing industry about the link between housing and health, and provide a range of practical, viable options that we can incorporate into our own homes.

The Healthy Housing fact sheets you'll find here, provide a room-by-room look at various features that can be included or added to your home to make it healthier for you and for the environment.
