Healthy Homes Assessments
Through one of our core programs, we’ve been improving access to healthy homes in Cleveland for decades. Over the years, we’ve improved the living conditions for families in thousands of homes by meeting them where they are and when they’re available.
What We Believe
We believe everyone deserves a healthy home. Years ago, we helped set the very standards for what that means alongside HUD, and we’ve been working to make that vision real ever since. Your income, neighborhood, or background should never decide whether you have a safe place to live and raise a family. Health starts at home — and that’s why we focus on fixing houses, educating families, and pushing for policy changes that prevent problems before they even begin.
What we do about it
Our Healthy Homes program is built on a simple truth: every child deserves to grow up in a safe, healthy home. In Cleveland, that’s not always the case—and that’s where we come in. We offer safety consultations, education, and hands-on support so families can live in the conditions they deserve.
We work alongside hospitals and community partners to remove the barriers that keep families from healthier housing. That means full-home assessments, one-on-one education, and real solutions—not just pointing out what’s wrong, but explaining why, and helping families make it right. Sometimes we handle small repairs ourselves, and other times we connect residents with trusted contractors for the bigger fixes.
No two homes are the same, and every family’s story matters. We approach each one with dignity and care because we know a healthy home isn’t just four walls—it’s the foundation for a thriving life. Our vision is simple: a Cleveland where no one has to worry that their home is making them sick.
