  • Certification and/or licensure requirements for mold inspectors and remediators in states that do not have them.
  • Increased funding and appropriations for research

"Teaming up with Change the Air Foundation has been nothing short of inspiring. The support we feel from this incredible community is a game-changer. Before, it was a lonely and grueling four years as my son battled debilitating mold illness. Now, armed with more real-world stories, scientific evidence, and the backing of medical experts, we're on a mission together to transform policies at both state and federal levels. With their unwavering support, we're fueled by hope, determined to ensure that no family faces the loneliness and suffering we endured. It's a powerful journey, and we're grateful to have Change the Air Foundation by our side, turning our shared experiences into a force for positive change."
