PORTSIDE AIR QUALITY IMPROVEMENT AND RELIEF (PAIR) PROGRAM
The PAIR Program provides new portable air purifiers and indoor air
monitoring systems to selected residences in the Portside area, at no
cost to participants. Eligible households will also receive three
extra filters for the air purifier, and a small one-time monetary
stipend to partially reimburse participants for antipated electrical
costs to run the new devices. The Portside area encompasses parts of
Barrio Logan, Logan Heights, Sherman Heights, and National City
neighborhoods, and is ranked within the top 15% of most polluted
neighborhoods in California. The low-income area is particularly
impacted by poor air quality being adjacent to and downwind of the
industrialized waterfront, Port areas, and local freeways along San
Diego Bay.
The PAIR Program is now accepting applications from residents within the Portside neighborhood, effective March 1, 2022. For more information on how to apply, please contact APCD's PAIR Program Administrator, the Environmental Health Coalition (EHC) or call the PAIR Program Hotline at 619-603-7758.
