Mold? Leaky Roof? Obama Administration Says All Americans Must Have 'Healthy Housing' | CNS News

This week, the Obama administration released a "bold new vision for addressing the nation's health and economic burdens caused by preventable hazards associated with the home."

The project has a name: "Advancing Healthy Housing: A Strategy for Action."

"People in the United States spend about 70% of their time in a home," the announcement said.

"Currently, millions of U.S. homes have moderate to severe physical housing problems, including dilapidated structure; roofing problems; heating, plumbing, and electrical deficiencies; water leaks and intrusion; pests; damaged paint; and high radon gas levels. These conditions are associated with a wide range of health issues, including unintentional injuries, respiratory illnesses like asthma and radon-induced lung cancer, lead poisoning, result in lost school days for children, as well as lost productivity in the labor force."

This means Section 8 housing just moved into the multi-million$ McMansion range.

Sounds like new ways to create jobs to me. Haven't we been through this before? No doubt it will be addressed during the state of the union, as he promises once again to TALK about job creation

No this means they can knock on your door and look for mold and find your gun safe and next time they come it is in the middle of the night with a no knock warrant, kicking in your door, shooting your dogs and confiscating your weapons and locking your arse up and then freezing your assets.

Not just subsidized housing......

According to the Obama administration, the health and economic burdens from preventable hazards associated with both subsidized and privately owned homes cost billions of dollars.

HUD Secretary Shaun Donovan says the federal government must do "everything we can to ensure that individuals and families have a healthy place to call home." He said the strategy "will help the federal government unify action (on) controlling and preventing major housing-related exposures and hazards."

Not just subsidized housing......

Around 2017 when Obamacare kicks in 100%, most Americans will be heading for Section 8 subsidized housing already. Something like 98% of the population.

Scary, that was my first thought too. Sad that it's come to that.

Without even reading the article, my first thought was "oh, goody; just what we need, and entirely new bloated bureaucracy within the federal government."
