HUD Master Models Healthy Homes Demonstration Program
HH Healthy Homes Demonstration Program
Purpose: To demonstrate better and more cost effective methodologies for reducing housing related environmental health and safety hazards in very low and low-income households with children under age of six.
Need Statement
Very low and low-income populations, especially households with children under the age of six, are at risk of housing related environmental health and safety hazards.
There is a need to develop, demonstrate, and promote cost effective preventive interventions to correct multiple safety and health hazards in the home.
There is a need to standardize the measurement of outcomes resulting from interventions and their impact on the health and safety of children under age six, especially children in very low and low-income households.

Evaluation Process – These are standard requirements that HUD will expect every program manager receiving a grant to do as part of their project management.
An evaluation process will be part of the on-going management of the program.
Comparisons will be made between projected and actual numbers for both outputs and outcomes.
Deviations from projected outputs and outcomes will be documented and explained.
Analysis of data to determine the relationship of outputs to outcomes; what outputs produce which outcomes.
HUD Will Use The Following Management Questions To Evaluate Your Program
How many persons are participating in the program?
How many persons under age six are participating in the program?
Did the project achieve its demonstration objectives?
If your program implemented new technologies for reducing housing related environmental health and safety hazards in very low and low-income households with children under age of six, identify the technology, and impact achieved.
Did your program identify more cost effective practices for reducing housing related environmental health and safety hazards in very low and low-income households with children under age of six?
What is the value of each of the cost effective practices implemented during this demonstration program?
What cost savings were realized as a result of conducting the demonstration?
If the approved project protocol changed as a result of field experience, explain any difference in the initial approved demonstration protocol resulting from actual project experience?
What activities, if any, significantly changed during project implementation?
What new practices would you incorporate into your program as a result of this demonstration project?
What is the likelihood that your project will result in improved field methods of intervention/remediation?
Has the community adopted Healthy Homes principles when undertaking rehabilitation or construction projects? If yes, please explain in narrative and indicate the number of units affected since implementation.
The above Management Questions developed for your program are based on the Carter-Richmond Methodology1. A description of the Carter-Richmond Methodology appears in the General Section of the NOFA.
