HEALTHY HOMES PROGRAM – CITY OF RICEBORO
JCVision’s Health Homes Program was established to create affordable, safe, and climate-resilient housing that promotes the well-being of residents, especially those in rural communities, such as the City of Riceboro.
Homes in low-income rural areas are often older units that pose health and safety risks to their occupants, particularly households with children and the elderly. JCVision has been dedicated for years to assisting rural communities in preserving housing and homeownership for long-term residents. JCVision has coordinated resources, participated in training, and obtained essential certifications to develop a program aimed at eliminating health and safety hazards for households with children and elderly occupants. In collaboration with the City of Riceboro, GA, the Healthy Homes Production Program aims to eliminate possible childhood lead poisoning and to remove housing-related health and safety hazards that may contribute to illness, injury or other adverse, healthy outcomes for both children and elderly residences. The goal is to reduce and remove hazards in up to 65 homes by October 2026. For more information about the Healthy Homes Production Program go to HUD’s website:

Have you recently purchased your home and now you’re feeling a little overwhelmed by being a homeowner?
Our post-purchase counseling is designed for homeowners who have recently purchased a home.

The counselor will work with the homeowner to develop a household budget which includes saving for critical housing-related expenses such as maintenance and home improvements.
