A huge THANK YOU to Evjue Foundation, the charitable arm of The Capital Times for their generous $11,250 grant to support our Radon Be Gone initiative! 🏡✨

Why is this grant such a game-changer?

Under HUD regulations, homes must be tested for radon before HUD-funded minor repairs can begin. If radon levels are high, mitigation is required first. But due to local funding rules, City of Madison CDBG funds can’t cover radon mitigation. For low-income homeowners, this compliance barrier can completely stall necessary, safety-focused repairs.

Why Radon Matters:
💨 It’s Invisible: Radon is a naturally occurring, odorless, and colorless radioactive gas.
⚠️ It’s a Serious Health Hazard: Radon exposure is the #1 cause of lung cancer among non-smokers and the 2nd leading cause overall.
📍 Local Impact: About 1 in 10 Wisconsin homes has elevated radon levels (and Dane County rates may be even higher!), yet many homes remain untested.

Thanks to Evjue Foundation, we can now cover the cost of necessary radon mitigation systems for low-income Dane County homeowners—removing this financial hurdle so we can proceed with vital safety repairs and keep vulnerable neighbors safe in their homes.

Thank you, Evjue Foundation, for helping us clear the air and preserve safe, healthy housing in our community! 💙

We are so proud to join forces with the City of Sun Prairie on this important initiative! If your home is in Sun Prairie and you need help tackling critical health, safety, or accessibility updates, we are here to help.

Head over to www.projecthomewi.org under Home Repair Programs or give our team a call at 608-246-3737, Option 2 to find out if you qualify and get the application process started.

We are excited to serve you, Sun Prairie!!

We're excited to announce our partnership with Project Home as the administer of our Home Repair Loan Program!
