Collaborative Meeting Materials: March 21, 2013

I feel more safe and secure now that I know my home is lead free. I can go up and down the steps on my porch. I didn’t have good steps. I don’t have to worry about somebody breaking in the house [because of my new door]. Healthy Homes Detroit brought me a great relief and I’m just very happy.

Healthy Homes Detroit is very valuable to the community... How would you know that playing on the front porch can be dangerous if you don’t know about lead hazards? How can you prevent asthma attacks if you don’t know what asthma triggers are in your house? This program keeps you informed.

The energy bills so far—I see a big difference, like $30-$40 a month, and that’s a big savings for our family. My daughter hasn’t had as many asthma attacks, and she hasn’t been taking her inhaler a lot or her breathing machine a lot.
