Kern County Department of Public Health
I currently live in Kern County and the county Department of Public Health. The department's website separated its services into 4 categories, one of which is Environmental Health. There is in local program dedicated specifically to environmental health. The various programs under environmental health include food programs, hazardous materials, housing, water, solid waste, and land development. I was pleasantly surprised that there was information on housing on the website, although I was expecting more information. The site included information on lead and mold, which is important, but there was no information on housing insecurity which I would've liked to see. I was very disappointed to find that there was no information on air quality, considering Kern County has the worst air quality in the nation.
I agree housing insecurity should definitely be included. It is a big problem here in Sacramento.
