Strengthening Alaska's Families and Homes
The Health, Home and Family Development program focuses on many aspects of
the home environment. Faculty investigate issues and needs defined by clientele
and deliver research-based knowledge in areas such as food (safety,
preparation, product development), nutrition, health, energy and housing
education (cold and marine climate home building, radon gas, indoor air
quality and solar and renewable energy), clothing, management of financial and
other resources, child development, and human relationships. Through community
outreach, the Health, Home and Family Development program promotes positive
change and growth for the family system within the community and the larger
society. For example Extension facilitates the Food Stamp Nutrition Education
Program (FSNEP), Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program (EFNEP) and the
Food Cost Survey. Extension agents and specialists also offer information on
domestic violence issues, emergency preparedness and consumer issues.
