Safe Housing & Healthy Home Assessments

Structured assessments that link housing conditions to medical risk, with follow-up visits to confirm real improvement.

The need

Mold, leaks, pests, and unsafe wiring quietly drive asthma, injury, and repeat illness, and rarely appear in a medical chart.

What we do

  • Identify mold
  • Identify leaks
  • Identify pests
  • Identify unsafe wiring
  • Identify other housing-related health risks
  • Develop simple remediation plans
  • Prioritize by urgency
  • Coordinate with medical staff for vulnerable residents
  • Follow-up visits

How it works

  1. 01

    Walk the home with the resident and document risks.

  2. 02

    Build a simple remediation plan, prioritized by urgency.

  3. 03

    Coordinate with medical staff for vulnerable residents.

  4. 04

    Return for follow-up visits to verify improvement.

Community participation

Residents set priorities for their own home and decide what happens first.

Why it matters

Treating the home treats the cause, not only the symptom.
