Lansing MI- Community Housing Specialist
 
 
 
The Healthy Homes Restore Corps uses state AmeriCorps members to serve their communities through direct service and training. Members achieve that by facilitation of housing workshops, distribution of weatherization resources, and engaging community members in one-on-one counseling assessments to curate a healthy home environment in the Greater Lansing area; Also included are Shiawassee, Clinton, and Eaton counties as well. Another facet of that looks at reviewing the regulation of local renting practices for tenants across the region and finding ways to connect with landlords and tenants to create better stewardship and mitigation strategies for health hazard prevention. Members work to establish community partnerships and help excel County housing initiatives by leveraging volunteers to distribute resources. Some of those housing-focused materials include in-home lead testing kits, healthy home action handbooks, healthy home checklists, bedbugs' fact sheets, natural air cleaning strategies, home renovation packets, home assessment tools, HEPA vacuums, hygrometers, humidifiers etc. The overall goal of the Healthy Homes Restore Corps is to increase housing-related knowledge, improve community relationships, and foster a better understanding of how the effects of your living environment affect your health and well-being.
