Healthy Homes Programs

Effective January 13, 2025, and until further notice, we are no longer accepting applications for the Healthy Homes Program due to the full allocation of grant assistance available to qualified applicants.

The City of Wilmington Healthy Homes Program assists qualified low-income homeowners and renters located in the city limits by providing education and training, limited referral assistance, and grant assistance in identifying and remediating Home Health Hazards.

 

What is a Healthy Home?

Everyone deserves to live in a safe and healthy home. A home has as much of an impact on the health of its residents as their lifestyle and diet. “Healthy Homes” is a century-old concept that promotes safe, decent, and sanitary housing as a means for preventing disease and injury.

A Healthy Home is one that is dry, clean, safe, well-ventilated, free of pests and contaminants, well-maintained, and thermally controlled.Learn more about the eight principles of a healthy home(PDF, 474KB).
