    Smoke-Free Public Housing

    PIH’s Smoke-Free Public Housing Rule was finalized on December 5, 2016, and became effective February 3, 2017. All PHAs must comply with the rule and would have implemented smoke-free policies within 18 months of the effective date, no later than July 31, 2018. The elimination of second-hand smoke that can migrate between public housing units can be an important step towards improving the health of residents as well as reducing maintenance costs for PHAs.

    PIH is working to provide additional smoke-free resources. If you have specific questions related to smoke-free public housing, please send an email to publichousingpolicyquestions@hud.gov. If you reside in a HUD-assisted property through the Office of Housing (specifically the Office of Multifamily Housing), contact your nearest Multifamily Regional Center or Satellite Office. The email address and phone number can be located within their website by searching for the region or location closest to the property you're inquiring about.
