I write to request your support for the "Healthy at Home Act" (H.R. 5533), which protects tenants in federally-assisted housing from being exposed to dangerous types of mold and other health risks. This important legislation will provide education and research to help protect tenants against health and safety risks associated with mold, and help landlords make property improvements to mitigate mold. There are more than 26 million Americans diagnosed with asthma, and 50+ million have allergies. One in every 10 American children has asthma, making it the most common chronic condition among U.S. children and the #1 cause of missed school days. Indoor mold can cause serious respiratory problems for people with mold allergy and allergic asthma. Many people are unaware that mold may be the cause of their allergy or asthma symptoms. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), mold can enter your home through open doorways, windows, vents, and heating and air conditioning systems. Mold is most prevalent in areas with a lot of moisture, such as leaky roofs, windows, or pipes, or where there has been flooding. To address this health hazard, education and research on mold must take place in communities that are greatly impacted, especially those that have experienced flooding in recent years. Reducing mold in housing properties will create healthier environments for those who live with allergies and asthma. Thank you for your consideration, and I hope this legislation becomes law.
