Trained Healthy Neighborhoods Program educators schedule a home visit and identify environmental hazards by asking residents questions from a standardized assessment form. Residents are educated about these concerns and provided referrals and follow up resources. Free cleaning, safety, and health products are also distributed to improve the home living environment. Residents can sign-up themselves and referrals are also accepted from medical entities, schools, and organizations. For more information and to schedule a home visit call 518-765-3521 or register online at:
