Mesothelioma and Asbestos

A recent triplex opened in Whittier, California to provide transitional housing for three homeless families – up to 13 people. Whittier Earliest Day has a three-bedroom house as well as two two-bedroom apartments where families will be capable to live for up to two years as they save up enough money to find another place to stay. The organization will give 10% of the family’s rent back to them when they move out. Previously, Whittier Earliest Day could only provide shelter for adults—not children; the triplex will allow families to stay together.

The county provided $1 million to total the triplex project; the other $300,000 came from the city, Presbyterian Intercommunity Hospital, the B.C. McCabe Foundation as well as the Rose Hills Foundation. The money went toward completely remodeling the property, including gutting the structure to remove asbestos as well as take care of lead, moistureless rot as well as water damage. It as well as paid for a recent roof, stucco, plumbing, cement as well as a walkway.
