Is your home safe? Is it leaky or drafty? Does it need repairs?
Healthy Homes Roanoke can help. We look at homes and see if there are ways to make them healthier, safer, and more comfortable for the families living there. We can’t fix everything. But we don’t limit our creativity in how we help.
This could mean removing toxic substances. It could mean fixing a roof or repairing plumbing. It could mean installing ramps or handrails. It could even be as simple as improving energy efficiency and lowering heating bills.
You want a healthy home and a safe space that works for your family. Healthy Homes Roanoke can connect you to the right people and resources to make that a reality.

Meet Mary
Mary felt cold. Her home had a problem with its heat, and as an older woman, she knew a lack of heat could make other health concerns worse.
Mary called someone she knew could help— Brad, a City of Roanoke worker in her area. Brad connected her with Healthy Homes Roanoke. In a couple of days, Healthy Homes Roanoke figured out the problem and made a plan with Mary. They also connected Mary with agencies and groups that could help with other needs—assistance with food, insurance, and financial counseling.
