Yachad works to insure that homes are safe and healthy for families. Especially now there is grave concern that our clients’ homes may be threatening their health even more than ever as people need to “shelter-in-place.” Yachad is doing what it can to mitigate some of these concerns.
Yachad is working with the DC government, healthcare and nonprofit partners across the region to implement a Healthy Housing response effort to deliver education, assessment and hazard prevention supplies to our most vulnerable families. Through our virtual home visits in partnership with Children’s National and BreatheEasy, we are working to ensure the safety of our staff and clients while meeting our mission to protect those who are most in need and yet have the least resources to handle housing challenges posed by this crisis
