Rebuilding Together Tampa Bay

Our Safe and Healthy Homes Initiative assists families needing necessary home repairs (at no cost) to create a safer and healthier home environment for their children. Areas in the home where the children spend most of their time are identified to create safe zones. The "safe zones" provide asthmatic and allergy-suffering children with areas in the home that have little to no triggers. In collaboration with the Children’s Board of Hillsborough County, this program focuses on implementing the most impactful repairs to create a safe and healthy home environment. Some of those repairs and services include:

-Weatherization (Windows & doors).
-Safeguards (Smoke detectors, child safety kits, grab bars, house identification numbers).
-Pest Control/ Termite Remediation.
-Lead Paint Testing.
-Minor Mold Remediation.
-Air Duct Cleaning/Repair.
-Carpet Cleaning/ Hard Surface Flooring Sanitizing.

The outcome: reduced asthma symptoms at home, reduced ER visits due to allergy/respiratory symptoms conditions, reduced asthma-related hospitalizations/ reduced missed school days. Also, and very significant, reduced work days missed by parents/caregivers.
