Every Oregonian should have a healthy home to live in—especially as Oregon experiences increasingly dangerous wildfire seasons and navigates a respiratory pandemic.

We’re closer than ever before thanks to the passage of HB 2842! Your advocacy has created a new Healthy Homes repair fund at the Oregon Health Authority which will invest in home repairs for low-income renters and homeowners to improve energy efficiency and safety while driving down heating and cooling costs. Funding may also be used for smoke filtration and other fire resilience improvements. This is a huge step forward in advancing environmental justice for our communities.

We’ll post information about to apply here as soon as funds are available!
