The Healthy Homes Relief Fund is a community safety-net program designed to support low-income households facing urgent plumbing crises that threaten health, safety, and stability.
Launching in 2026, this initiative provides financial assistance for essential home repairs—helping families restore clean water access, address hazardous leaks, and prevent costly property damage. By partnering with local municipalities, nonprofits, and licensed trades professionals, Seaside Toolbox Academy ensures that vulnerable households receive timely, quality repairs from trusted providers. The Healthy Homes Relief Fund strengthens community well-being, promotes housing stability, and reinforces the critical role skilled trades play in supporting everyday life.
