Healthy Home Benefits

A powerful part of RENEW’s impact is the increased health benefits our clients mention following the completion of their projects. For many, these critical home improvement projects help their physical health stabilize.

Beyond that, many clients save money on fuel costs which helps provide peace of mind. Each year, RENEW sends out a survey to all clients who have had completed projects. This is essential feedback that helps us improve our program, but also demonstrates the health and wealth benefits of this collective impact work.
