INTRODUCTION: ATTACHMENTS: Description Smoke Free Multi-Unit Housing Report Date: November 8th, 2021 From: Edina Community Health Commission Subject: Smoke-Free Multi-Unit Property Polices Action Requested: Study and report possible smoke-free multi-unit property policies, possible ordinance language, and programs. Gather examples from other cities. Background: In early 2018, Bloomington Public Health (BPH) and the Association for Non-Smokers (ANSR) Minnesota’s Live Smoke Free program administered a survey to residents in to two types of multi-unit housing properties in the City of Edina: those with a smoke-free policy (i.e. smoking of tobacco is not allowed anywhere indoors) and those with a smoking-allowed policy. View PDF of CHC Agenda and Survey Presentation Key Survey Takeaways • Majority of all respondents (97%) don’t allow smoking in their units even with a smoking-allowed policy present. • Majority of respondents surveyed (94%) support a smoke-free building-wide policy. • Despite 97% of all respondents not allowing the smoking of tobacco products in their units, (99% in smoke-free vs 93% in smoking-allowed properties), 46% of these respondents are still exposed to secondhand smoke from all buildings. This includes 39% in smoke-free vs. 64% in smoking-allowed buildings. • Negative health impact of secondhand smoke exposure was reported by 8% of respondents. • Majority of respondents (91% in smoke-free properties and 90% in smoking-allowed properties) indicated they would support a multi-unit housing smoking related citywide ordinance. • As a result of this survey, the Edina Community Health Commission was tasked with providing a study & report on the potential polices, programs, and ordinance language related to this subject. Review of National, State, & Local Policy Efforts: • A 2017 rule from the Department of Housing and Urban Development instructed public housing agencies to develop and implement smoke-free polices by August 1, 2018. However, this rule contained exemptions for mixed funding properties and voucher-based programs. o https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2016/12/05/2016-28986/instituting-smoke- free-public-housing Page 2 • In January 2019, The Public Health Law Center at Mitchell-Hamline School of Law released a report to reinforce the legality of smoke-free policies. o https://www.publichealthlawcenter.org/sites/default/files/resources/No-Constitutional- Right-Smoke-Toke-2019.pdf • A 2019 survey of multi-unit property residents in Ramsey County conducted by Saint Paul – Ramsey County Public Health and Live Smoke Free showed high level of support for smoke-free policies in both subsidized and market-rate housing. o Fact Sheet: https://mnsmokefreehousing.org/wp-content/uploads/Summary-2-Page- infographic.pdf o Full Report: https://mnsmokefreehousing.org/wp-content/uploads/Ramsey-County-Multi- Unit-Housing-Resident-Survey-Aggregate-Report.pdf • Dakota County received the 2020 Achievement in Health Award from the National Association of Counties for its work implementing smoke-free affordable housing. o https://explorer.naco.org/cf_naco/cffiles_web/awards/Award_program.cfm?SEARCHID=A4 9981 o Dakota County, MN – Stories of Progress: https://mnsmokefreehousing.org/dakotacounty/ • In January 2021, the City of St. Paul amended the City’s Truth in Sale of Housing reports to include disclosure of smoking rules. Additionally, a smoking policy disclosure form now must be filed with the Department of Safety and Inspections for multi-unit dwellings. o https://library.municode.com/mn/st._paul/codes/code_of_ordinances?nodeId=PTIILECO_T ITXIXCOPR_CH194SMPODI • As of July 1, 2021, the American Nonsmokers’ Rights Foundation listed 40 Minnesota communities with some form of smoke-free policy in place for publicly owned multi-unit housing. o https://no-smoke.org/wp-content/uploads/pdf/public-housing-authorities.pdf Review of Existing Policies: • Austin Housing Authority - Austin, TX o https://www.hacanet.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/ACOP-12-21-17.pdf#page=236 • Raleigh Housing Authority - Raleigh, NC o https://www.rhaonline.com/wp- content/uploads/2017/07/RHA_Smoke_Free_Housing_and_Building_Policy_approved_082 417.pdf Page 3 Examples of Model Policies: • Mitchell Hamline Public Health Law Center – Model Ordinance o https://www.publichealthlawcenter.org/sites/default/files/resources/CA-Smoke-free- MUH-Model-Ordinance.pdf • Americans for Nonsmokers Rights – Model Ordinance (Written broadly but can be parsed down to apply to multi-unit housing) o https://nonsmokersrights.org/sites/default/files/2019-09/modelordinance.pdf Example Education & Outreach Efforts: • Live Smoke Free, a non-profit program of the Association for Nonsmokers-Minnesota provides a database of smoke-free properties and resources for property owners/managers considering implementation of smoke-free policies.
