Purpose

The Weber-Morgan Health Department (WMHD) was awarded a $2-million grant by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to provide financial assistance for homeowners needing to make healthy updates to their aging homes in Weber County. The program provides financial assistance to help remediate 29 home hazards identified by HUD, such as lead-based paint, mold, moisture, injury and safety hazards, poor indoor air quality, radon, and carbon monoxide in homes. Occupants of the property must meet low-income qualifications. Priority will be given for owner-occupied properties with a child under the age of six living or regularly visiting the home, and/or occupants older than age 62, or families with at least one person with disabilities.

Work will be based on the results of a Healthy Homes Assessment.
