Smoke Free Public Housing

Breathe DC in partnership partnership with tenant associations, DC Housing Authority, the DC Department of Health, and the CDC Communities Putting Prevention to Work, is leading an effort to mobilize tenants in four public housing communities in DC to implement smoke-free policies on their properties and ultimately throughout the city. We support tenant groups to wage creative, respectful campaigns in dialogue with their neighbors, to develop policies that will improve air quality and lung health in housing developments by reducing tobacco smoke exposure.
