Our Mission:

To proactively promote hazard-free environments for all residents of Buncombe, Henderson, and surrounding Counties through public education, home inspections, and professional trainings.

Who we are:

Healthy Homes and Lead Safety conducts lead investigations of homes on a donation basis. We collaborate with the medical and housing communities, local leaders, and the general public to educate about lead-safe and hazard-free homes. Our Director, Linda Block, is a Healthy Homes Specialist, Lead Risk Assessor, and Renovation, Repair and Painting Instructor.

We are a local resource for you!

What is a Healthy Home?

Safe water—a clean supply and water temperature set at 120ºF.

A healthy home is…

Free from lead, high levels of radon, and excess chemicals.
A solid structure that keeps out pests, moisture, noise, and pollution.
Safe from injuries—it has smooth floor surfaces, stair handrails, adequate lighting, and safety devices.
