Book excerpt: Improved housing conditions can save lives, prevent disease, increase quality of life, reduce poverty, and help mitigate climate change. Housing is becoming increasingly important to health in light of urban growth, ageing populations and climate change. The WHO Housing and health guidelines bring together the most recent evidence to provide practical recommendations to reduce the health burden due to unsafe and substandard housing. Based on newly commissioned systematic reviews, the guidelines provide recommendations relevant to inadequate living space (crowding), low and high indoor temperatures, injury hazards in the home, and accessibility of housing for people with functional impairments. In addition, the guidelines identify and summarize existing WHO guidelines and recommendations related to housing, with respect to water quality, air quality, neighbourhood noise, asbestos, lead, tobacco smoke and radon. The guidelines take a comprehensive, intersectoral perspective on the issue of housing and health and highlight co-benefits of interventions addressing several risk factors at the same time. The WHO Housing and health guidelines aim at informing housing policies and regulations at the national, regional and local level and are further relevant in the daily activities of implementing actors who are directly involved in the construction, maintenance and demolition of housing in ways that influence human health and safety. The guidelines therefore emphasize the importance of collaboration between the health and other sectors and joint efforts across all government levels to promote healthy housing. The guidelines' implementation at country-level will in particular contribute to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals on health (SDG 3) and sustainable cities (SDG 11). WHO will support Member States in adapting the guidelines to national contexts and priorities to ensure safe and healthy housing for all.
Download or read book Developing a local housing strategy written by United States Conference of Mayors and published by . This book was released on 1978 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This guidebook is written to assist local government officials in coping with the Community Development Block Grant program , in particular with its requirement that communities must develop a formal Housing Assistance Plan. To do so , the community has to determine its future housing needs and figure out ways to meet them--an appropriate procedure even if a community happens not to be seeking federal grants. In describing how to develop a housing strategy appropriate to all segments of the local population , the guide moves clearly, in a step-by-step way, from a discussion of the basic structure of the housing market to an analysis of goal-setting, always reminding the reader that a housing strategy can hardly be successful unless it is related to population, to jobs, and to economic development. We recommend the guide not only for its thoroughness and clarity but for its insistence on balance and informed decision-making.
Download or read book FY 2013 Annual Performance Report FY 2015 Annual Performance Plan U S Department of Housing and Urban Development Black and White written by U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-02-16 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Fiscal Year (FY) 2013 Annual Performance Report (APR) and FY 2015 Annual Performance Plan (APP) for the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) provides detailed performance-related information to the President, the Congress, and the American people. The report allows readers to assess HUD's FY 2013 performance, revisions to FY 2014 goals, and plans for FY 2015 relative to its mission and stewardship of public resources. This report consists of several important sections: Agency and Mission This section contains HUD's mission statements, its vision, organizational structure, and scope of responsibilities, as well as an introductory message from the HUD Secretary, Shaun Donovan, in which he highlights key FY 2013 program accomplishments and policy priorities going forward. Strategic Goals and Strategic Objectives This section contains HUD's strategic framework, as established in the new HUD Strategic Plan FY 2014-2018. It is comprised of four overarching strategic goals and 12 strategic objectives which help frame HUD's discussion of its performance targets and associated priorities. The majority of this APP-APR is organized by strategic objective. Strategic objectives are intended to reflect the outcome or management impact an agency is trying to achieve. Each objective will be tracked annually through a specific set of performance indicators. In addition, HUD's strategic framework contains eight management objectives that are intended to improve departmental operations. Please note that Agency Priority Goals (or APGs) are denoted by a * throughout this document. Each agency is responsible for identifying a limited number of performance goals that are high priorities over a two-year period. These APGs support improvements in near-term outcomes, customer service, or efficiencies, and advance progress toward longer-term, outcome-focused strategic goals and objectives in an agency's Strategic Plan. Thus, while strategic objectives are evaluated annually and focus on longer-term performance goals, Agency Priority Goals are evaluated quarterly and focus on near-term results. For each strategic goal, we have included its associated strategic objectives, an overview of the problem(s) HUD is attempting to address through these objectives, strategies for achieving the objectives, goal leaders, major milestones, and performance indicators to track our progress. HUD's APGs were established in FY 2012 to cover a two-year performance period (FY 2012-2013). Thus, in this consolidated FY 2013 APR and FY 2015 APP, we present to readers a synopsis of both final outcomes on the FY 2012-2013 APGs, and plans and targets for the FY 2014-2105 APGs. For most metrics, HUD has committed targets for FY14 and FY15 which will enable us to track our performance in the next two years. For some metrics, we are still gathering data to establish baselines and preparing to set targets in future years. These metrics are indicated with the phrases "Establish Baseline" and "Target TBD" in the relevant tables. A third category of metrics, marked as "Tracking Only," provide information about program operations or external conditions but will not have targets. For these metrics, targets would be difficult to establish, would not provide meaningful indications of agency performance expectations, and/or could create unintended incentives for program staff and our partners.

This book was released on 2006-05-19 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The National Research Council's (NRC's) involvement with the Partnership for Advancing Technology in Housing (PATH) started in 2000 with a three-year review and assessment of the PATH program. The resulting report, Promoting Innovation: 2002 Assessment of the Partnership for Advancing Technology in Housing, included a series of recommendations regarding the focus of the PATH program's goals and the performance measures used to manage the program and assess progress in its formative years. Subsequently, the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) asked the NRC to convene a workshop to assess PATH's most recent draft strategy, operating plan, and performance measures to determine their responsiveness to the recommendations in the 2002 Assessment and their suitability for guiding PATH into the future. This report outlines the workshop discussions, which focused on the three major PATH goals. Workshop participants discussed possible strategies for improving communication among all the players in housing and housing innovation, and commented on a number of questions: Do the goals of the PATH program convey a clear idea of what PATH is trying to achieve? Are the performance measures effective in assessing progress toward the goals? Do the goals and measures provide an adequate indication of innovation in the housing industry? This report concludes with a discussion that focuses on the path forward and how the goals and performance measures could be improved to increase the probability of the success and growth of PATH.
