The Asthma-Safe Homes Program provides free, in-home asthma education and home repair services to eligible families with poorly controlled asthma. Our goal is to help kids and expecting parents with asthma live their best lives by building asthma self-care skills and reducing home asthma triggers, such as tobacco smoke, mold, dust mites, household chemicals, pests, and moisture from poor ventilation or leaking roofs, windows and plumbing.

Children ages 2–18 years and pregnant parents with asthma who are eligible for Medicaid state health insurance can access program services through a referral process. The Asthma-Safe Homes Program currently serves clients in Milwaukee, Kenosha, Racine, Rock, and Brown counties. Learn more about how we can help you create an asthma-safe home.
