THE OBJECTIVE OF THE YOUTH LEADERSHIP AND COMMUNITY ACTION FOR HEALTHIER HOMES PROJECT IS TO PROMOTE HEALTHY HOMES THROUGH YOUTH DEVELOPMENT IN NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA CITY, ZIP CODE 73117. THIS PROJECT SEEKS TO ADDRESS ASTHMA TRIGGERS IN THE COMMUNITY AND HOW HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTES (HHW) CAN CONTRIBUTE TO HEALTH ISSUES, LIKE ASTHMA. PROJECT PARTNERS WILL ADMINISTER A SURVEY THAT WILL INCLUDE AN IN-HOME ASSESSMENT THAT WILL HELP TO MAKE RESIDENTS MORE AWARE OF THE TYPES OF PRODUCTS THAT GENERATE HHW AND HOW MUCH IS IN THEIR COMMUNITY. COMMUNITY YOUTH LEADERS WILL BE TRAINED TO ADVOCATE FOR HEALTHIER HOMES BY HELPING TO EDUCATE COMMUNITY MEMBERS OF THE POTENTIAL IMPACTS TO THEIR LOCAL ENVIRONMENT AND THE PUBLIC HEALTH RISKS (INCLUDING ASTHMA ATTACKS) ASSOCIATED WITH IMPROPER USE, STORAGE, AND DISPOSAL OF HHW. THIS PROJECT WILL ALSO ENCOURAGE RESIDENTS TO TRY MORE ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY ALTERNATIVES TO SUBSTANCES THAT GENERATE HHW.
