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
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.
