Is Your Home Making You Sick?

Everyone has a right to a healthy home, but not everyone has access to one. Because of unfair housing practices, problems like asthma, mold, lead, and pests affect low-income communities and communities of color much more than others. So what exactly makes a home unhealthy? And what can you do to fix it?

CUP teamed up with WE ACT for Environmental Justice, and designer Melissa Gorman to create Is Your Home Making You Sick?, a bilingual fold-out guide in English and Spanish to help New Yorkers navigate the things in your home and neighborhood that can make you sick, the negative impacts of an unhealthy home and community, and what you can do about them.
