National Healthy Homes Month 2026

Note: National Healthy Homes Month moved from June to April in 2024.

April is National Healthy Homes Month (NHHM), an opportunity to educate, raise awareness, motivate action, and build networks and partnerships in support of healthier home environments. In the past, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and other federal partners have emphasized the importance of testing homes and people, connected people and communities to resources to find and fix residential hazards, encouraged and strengthened partnerships, and motivated action and investment in improved housing quality.

NCHH is celebrating National Healthy Homes Month this April with the theme of Healthy Homes for Everyone: Practical Actions. Shared Solutions. Lasting Impact. This theme is provided by the National Safe and Healthy Housing Coalition (NSHHC), for which NCHH serves as the coordinator. The theme was shaped and chosen by NSHHC members through two rounds of open voting in December 2025 and February 2026.

This year’s theme reflects what NSHHC members said matters most for National Healthy Homes Month: our shared responsibility of creating safe homes and communities; that practical actions and solutions to improve housing quality will deliver lasting, shared benefits for everyday Americans, including but not limited to improvements in individual health, economic growth, educational outcomes, and climate and energy resiliency; and that everyone deserves a healthy home, no matter where they live.

Note that the NSHHC theme is not meant to be an exclusive or official theme for National Healthy Homes Month – if we hear of other themes being offered by federal agencies or other partners, we will support them on this page as well. We encourage everyone to share information on some or all of these themes but, most importantly, to get the word out about why safe and healthy housing matters to you and your community.
