Here it goes! Obama Adm. Says All Americans Must Have 'Healthy Housing'

"People in the United States spend about 70% of their time in a home," the announcement said.

"Currently, millions of U.S. homes have moderate to severe physical housing problems, including dilapidated structure; roofing problems; heating, plumbing, and electrical deficiencies; water leaks and intrusion; pests; damaged paint; and high radon gas levels. These conditions are associated with a wide range of health issues, including unintentional injuries, respiratory illnesses like asthma and radon-induced lung cancer, lead poisoning, result in lost school days for children, as well as lost productivity in the labor force."

According to the Obama administration, the health and economic burdens from preventable hazards associated with both subsidized and privately owned homes cost billions of dollars.

The new strategy "unifies" federal efforts to advance healthy housing -- "demonstrating the connection between housing conditions and residents’ health."

The federal partners pushing healthy housing include the White House Council on Environmental Quality, Environmental Protection Agency, Department of Housing and Urban Development, the Surgeon General, and Energy Department.

HUD Secretary Shaun Donovan says the federal government must do "everything we can to ensure that individuals and families have a healthy place to call home." He said the strategy "will help the federal government unify action (on) controlling and preventing major housing-related exposures and hazards."

EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson said the government now has a "specific plan for action to address radon and other preventable hazards found in homes across the country." The strategy, she added, "is a critical step" toward ensuring that "Americans in all communities have healthy places to live, work and play."

The healthy homes strategy sets five goals for reducing the number of substandard homes:

-- Establish healthy homes recommendations (homes should be dry, clean, pest-free, safe, contaminant-free, well-ventilated, and well-maintained and thermally controlled);

-- Encourage adoption of healthy homes recommendations (federal, state and local regulations);

-- Create and support training and workforce development to address health hazards in housing (train people for new jobs in green energy and construction);

-- Educate the public about healthy homes (advertising campaigns telling Americans how their homes ought to be)

-- Support research that advances healthy housing in a cost-effective manner (taxpayer-funded grants to study the problem).

A 2013 report from the "Federal Healthy Homes Work Group" notes that "susceptible and vulnerable populations, such as children, the poor, minorities, individuals with behavioral health issues, and people with chronic medical conditions, may be disproportionately impacted by inadequate housing."

The report also says many home-based hazards are preventable -- "and opportunities exist for intervention programs that would not only reduce health impacts on
occupants, but the economic burden as well, resulting in a positive return on investment."

Ok, so now we have to allow them in our homes to inspect? :questionmark:

where does it say anything about inspection? looks like recommendations, raising awareness, etc

Was talking to contractors just last year saying this was coming. The price to build is already out the roof literally, this will finish off the industry slowly. Soon you’ll have to have OSHA or a like group approve your home sale.


Agenda 21 on the way and in full force. They will be providing you with government approved housing, enjoy your new tiny flat.

They want us like Europe where there is no extra land to buy and build on any more unless you’re a millionaire.

So....if a home isn't up to gov't standards, what they gonna do? Move us to "healthy" FEMA camps?
This is just getting too weird for words!

for you Indysmindy

This is was also glossed over in the thread of supposition I posted earlier, how "we'll make sure everything is ok for you". Housing is part of the plan of control as well.

You're right! I think they are covering all areas. What next needs to be done? Check our food in our refrigerators and cabinets?

Healthy like this??

Grim proving ground for Obama's housing policy

CHICAGO - The squat brick buildings of Grove Parc Plaza, in a dense neighborhood that Barack Obama represented for eight years as a state senator, hold 504 apartments subsidized by the federal government for people who can't afford to live anywhere else.

But it's not safe to live here.

About 99 of the units are vacant, many rendered uninhabitable by unfixed problems, such as collapsed roofs and fire damage. Mice scamper through the halls. Battered mailboxes hang open. Sewage backs up into kitchen sinks. In 2006, federal inspectors graded the condition of the complex an 11 on a 100-point scale - a score so bad the buildings now face demolition.

Everything stars with "it's just about education" and before you know it you have inspections, regulations and taxes.

You know what? Think about it, these may be the first to head to a safer place to live. You know what that means! FEMA Camps! :boyscared:

This...so true.

You won't be able to sell without their approval and until all recommended standards are implemented.

5*s and a pin request, OP.
This needs to be seen!

Remember how subtle they are! With everything, they are like slithering snakes.

AGENDA 21

Thx! I agree!

Maybe he should look at how to cut costs instead of adding more goverment to research and make suggestions. Are you serious?

Looking up Agenda 21 and housing, I found this site.

In San Francisco single individuals are rent their very own 1st generation Agenda 21 two hundred and twenty-two square foot apartment (if the closet and bathroom are factored into the allocated living space). The intention of these “shoe box homes” are to house marginalize the general public and train them to accept less living space in the name of affordability.

In the South Market neighborhood in San Francisco, Patrick Kennedy, a UC Berkley-based developer, will reveal his contribution to the move toward cramped housing with mini-apartments of 300 square foot. Kennedy explains: “You could obviously build more of them if you don’t have to do them as large.”

Residents who live alone can expect to be coerced into giving up extra room for breath-taking views of the Bay area, furniture that comes out of the walls and beds that convert to couches to maximize living space.

In essence, these mini-apartments are only a bit bigger than the average US prison cell, although designed to resemble a hotel room.

Detroit

More b.s regulations $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ So sick of this guy.

I can see this being used to prevent sprawling, an agenda 21 term, and a way to force people out of the unhabitable zones into the megacities. If these terms are unfamiliar, you have a lot to learn about agenda 21. Nonetheless, this move by obama is what was needed to continue agenda 21 to the next level. Now they will find the reasons and have the means to force people into compact livable cities.

Pin ? This is importante!

I see all of the above happening -

The government tells you (for a fee) how far off the guidelines you are, recommends what must be done for correction, and then again requires inspection (for a fee) to see if you now meet these guidelines.

Who would set such guidelines? The government, of course, but "only after serious discussion with forerunners of the industry"

Who would perform such inspections? The government, of course - I can even see ANOTHER bureaucracy-filled "department" being created. In all, even if you "passed" any such garbage inspection - you were still required to allow a government agent into your home for SEARCH, uhm, I mean "inspection". AR standing in the corner? Nice cabinet in the den? Bible on your coffee table or night stand? Tobacco or evidence of smoking inside your home? Children at home during the day/ not at the government school? All can/ will be noted. See where this craziness leads?

Who would be ALLOWED to perform the work necessary in order to meet the new inspection "standards"? You got it - Union-based companies.

This, just as all of their other "Programs" has absolutely ZERO to do with your health or well-being.

Got lots of these...it's just tax payer money......

....on second thought.



Katrina, Rita victims get $42.6M in toxic FEMA trailer suit

A federal judge gave his final approval Thursday to a $42.6 million class-action settlement between companies that made and installed government-issued trailers after hurricanes in 2005 and Gulf Coast storm victims who claim they were exposed to hazardous fumes while living in the shelters.......

Edlen is also involved in building 330 square foot apartments across the street from the Boston Wharf Tower. These mini-apartment complexes are touted as glorified bedrooms because the modern Bostonian is expected to dine, socialize and work outside their residence – so why have so much room to live in?
The idea is to create more reason for pedestrians, less room for personal cars, and the shoe-box apartments are justified.

Last June, at the UN Conference on Sustainable Development, there were more than 692 promises of monetary support by world leaders for Agenda 21 policies and schemes which amounted to an estimated $513 billion.

100% spot on.

Anyone who thinks this is a good thing hasn't been paying attention, or doesn't understand the consequences of such actions.

I am convinced that obama is officially a full on retard.

LOL, trying to slide in poisons ...again

you ARE WHAT YOU EAT

Carbs - 150 grams per day
Fat - 50 grams per day
water - 1 gallon per day

no sugar
no salt
no flour unless whole wheat and you are under your 150 grams of carbs
no ice cream unless sugar & fat free
no saturated fats

No only will you loose fat and stay lean, you will preserve muscle and put on muscle if you exercise.
