Bay Area Healthy Homes Initiative (Program is now closed)
The Bay Area Healthy Homes Initiative, or BAHHI, was a program that sought to improve health outcomes for the Contra Costa and Alameda County residents living in the areas most impacted by traffic air pollution. The program integrated multiple services that sought to reduce participants’ exposure to air pollution and other asthma triggers while also making homes more energy efficient.
The Air District was awarded nearly $2 million from the Automobile Emissions Research and Technology Fund by the California Attorney General’s Office to implement the program.
Our program partners collaborated on the implementation of program core areas including asthma education, in-home asthma trigger assessments, energy efficiency assessments, home retrofits, and indoor air monitoring. Anticipated outcomes included improved indoor air quality, decreased energy usage, reduced greenhouse gas, or GHG, emissions, and improved health outcomes of participating households.
