WAMU: More Help Might Be On The Way If You’ve Got Mold In D.C.
For years, CLC has focused on achieving safe, fair housing conditions across the district. When CLC Attorney Kathy Zeisel sat down with Martin Austermuhle of WAMU to discuss the issue of mold and its contribution to D.C.’s asthma problem, she highlighted where the disparities lie:
“We’re really interested in it because kids in Wards 7 and 8 go to the hospital at 20 times the rate as kids in Ward 3 for asthma. And we really think that’s tied to some of the housing conditions we see in Ward 7 and 8, especially a lot of water intrusion and mold issues,” she said.
