The Quiet Home Program was established in the early 1990's to address noise impacts from LA/Ontario International Airport (ONT).  The Quiet Home Program's primary goal is to sound insulate properties and acquire residential properties in neighborhoods most severely impacted by aircraft noise and, over time, recycle these homes to land uses that are compatible with the airport. 

The City recently secured grants from LAWA and FAA totaling $13 million.  The grant funds will be used to sound insulate approximately 200 residential homes and assist with the voluntary land acquisition/relocation of 15 properties. The Quiet Home Program recently accomplished a milestone by insulating 1,000 homes and has acquired 229 properties to date. A photograph of the 1,000th home sound insulated is provided above.

Additionally, the City has secured a $1 million Cal Home Grant from the State of California's Department of Housing Community Development to provide low-interest rate deferred loans to qualified owner-occupants that are participating in the Quiet Home Noise Insulation Program. These funds will allow qualified low-income homeowners to rehabilitate their homes to resolve any existing code violations.  

The Mission Statement for the Quiet Home Program is "Improving the quality of life in the most noise-impacted neighborhoods while increasing community-airport compatibility through voluntary residential sound insulation and land acquisition."
