The San Diego Healthy Homes Collaborative
Mr. Chris Lee, City of San Diego Lead Safety and Healthy Homes Program Coordinator
The San Diego Healthy Homes Collaborative is a Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) funded Healthy Homes Demonstration grant that provides resources to improve the health and safety of low income families with children. This presentation will provide an overview of the program and Healthy Homes Concepts. The SDHHC leverages numerous resources, such as weatherization and energy efficiency programs, to improve the health of the program participants. The program conducts in home evaluations consisting of occupant interviews concerning the existing conditions of the property, and the health of the residents. Environmental sampling includes testing for lead hazards, mold and moisture, asbestos, cockroach allergens, dust mites, carbon monoxide and natural gas. Properties are again evaluated six months after renovations are completed, and evaluated by an independent research agency to determine if the program is cost effective.
