Green Healthy Homes

To build upon an ongoing initiative in Alameda County driven by local non-profits, health organizations, and volunteers the Green Healthy Homes AC will help get information out to community members about health risks that may exist in their homes so the sources can be identified and remediated with funds coming to Oakland in 2019.

Learn About Risks

There are a number of reasons housing can become unsafe over time and while most of it is related to the age of the structure sometimes it has to do with products that were used that are now known to cause health issues. The Green Healthy Homes AC will focus on providing information about what to look out for in your home to make sure things are safe for you and your kids and to give advice on what to do if you find a problem.  

Get $ to Fix Them

In some cases where there is a problem that will cost money to fix, there are funds available through federal, state, and local grants and sometimes through lawsuit settlements an organization has been ordered to pay to remediate the issue for current residents and/or home owners.

The Green Healthy Homes AC will help Melrose residents discover if there is funding to help pay to fix issues when they’re found.
