Multiple dehumidifiers and often run above 60
Percent no matter what we do
Huh, it's not a good sign that you can't get the humidity under control. What's the relative humidity and dew point outside (weather.com will tell you this)?
Is your house drafty? What decade was it built in?
Just how big are these dehumidifiers that you're running? (and how big is the house?)
Is it on a slab or does it have a crawlspace or basement? If a crawlspace, is the soil underneath damp? Is there a vapor barrier underneath? Has it been raining, and/or do you have a high water table in the area? Do you have gutters and is the water runoff directed away from your house?
Above 60% humidity despite dehumidifiers would be consistent with continued mold growth

Health is important. Arguably, *the* most important thing. You might try a temporary move while figuring this out. Short term rental of a house, apartment, or even airbnb.
