Date: Feb. 21
Time: 11:30 a.m.-1 p.m.
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s smoke-free public housing rule has been in effect for several months, but for many public housing authorities, building resident trust and buy-in takes more time. Join Clean Air for All and special guests for a discussion on strategies to boost compliance and change the narrative around smoking in public housing communities. Learn tips and best practices for handling violations and working with residents towards a common goal of healthy, clean and safe housing.
