North County Grants for Home
Repairs
Lead
poisoning, asthma triggers and safety issues in the home can be serious threats
to our children's health. We're happy to pass along news that the Alameda
County Healthy Homes Department has services to assist low-income residents and
property owners in making their homes safer for young children. Grants and
technical assistance are now available in Alameda County to reduce lead hazards
and other health and safety issues in the home, as well as free consultation
services.
Helping Make Homes Healthier for Kids
The
Healthy Homes Department has a special grants program they are currently
promoting. Do you or any of your clients have a pre-1978 home in
Berkeley, Alameda, Emeryville or Oakland? Are there any children under 6, or a
pregnant woman, living in the home? Or do children under 6 regularly visit? Is
the household low-income?
If
so, these households may qualify for up to $6,000 in grants for lead hazard and other
safety repairs in the home from the Alameda County Healthy Homes Department, as
well as up to $4,000 in no-interest, deferred payment loans. Rental and
owner-occupied homes are eligible. Free consultations are also available.
