Smoke-Free Affordable Housing

 No Smoking Logo
PHDM received federal funding to help tenants and landlords of affordable apartments and housing in our communities go smoke-free. Studies have shown that up to 65% of air within a building is shared within the units. This means that you are still at risk of exposure to cigarette smoke (a known cancer causing agent) from your neighbors, even if you and your family do not smoke in the home.
