Healthy Homes Program
Boulder County Public Health’s (BCPH) Healthy Homes Program strives to build healthier communities by providing all Boulder County residents with information and resources that foster safe and healthy homes. We spend approximately 90% of our time indoors, and the air quality is often worse than the quality of air outdoors. We believe that everyone deserves to live in a safe and healthy environment.
Indoor air quality impacts are based on the following:
- The amount of time we spend indoors
- Asthma is common in Colorado
- One in two homes in Boulder County has elevated radon levels
- Many families and communities are housing cost-burdened, making repairs difficult or inaccessible
- Aging homes across Boulder County
- Health and safety concerns in the home extend beyond air quality
