Smoke-Free Housing New England is a consulting group with the mission to eliminate involuntary exposure to secondhand smoke in New England’s multi-unit properties.

Our goals include:

• Increase the number of multi-unit residents who live free from secondhand smoke.

• To ensure that the supply of smoke-free units within New England meets the demand.
