Foreword
The growing numbers of new families and the increasing population in the
United States have created a pressing demand for additional housing that is
conducive to healthful living. These demands are increased by the continuing
loss of existing housing through deterioration resulting from age and poor
maintenance
Large numbers of communities in the past few years have adopted housing codes
and initiated code enforcement programs to prevent further deterioration of
existing housing units. This growth in housing activities has caused a serious
problem for communities in obtaining qualified personnel to provide the array
of housing services needed, such as information, counseling, technical advice,
inspections, and enforcement. As a result, many agencies throughout the
country are conducting comprehensive housing inspection training courses. This
publication has been designed to be an integral part of these training
sessions. |
