Healthy Schools and Homes
Details
We are a group working to become informed about the toxins in our environments and taking action to inform our school leadership and landlords and hold them accountable to testing and change.
Pennsylvania has the 4th oldest housing stock in the country. The median home here is 57 years old. For families who can't afford repairs, that age shows up as mold, lead, flooding, and cold drafts — things that make kids sick. This is the reality we're working to change.

We will also work along with the Pennsylvania Coalition for Informed Consent in their efforts towards legislation monitoring and relationship building to advocate for change.
We are open to ideas and suggestions for anything we can do as a community to advocate for healthier environments. All adults, male or female, are welcome. We encourage teachers, healthcare workers, and school nurses to join us
