Program Information

           

 

The Healthy Homes Program assists residents of Cowlitz County by providing

basic asthma education and In-Home Assessments for FREE! 

During an In-Home Assessment, program staff and trained community volunteers teach

residents how to locate common asthma triggers in their homes. 

Then they suggest easy, low-to-no cost solutions to the problems found.
