Green & Healthy Homes Initiative Breaking the link between unhealthy housing and unhealthy children. With support from U.S.

The Green & Healthy Homes Initiative® (GHHI®) is dedicated to breaking the link between unhealthy housing and unhealthy children. Formerly the Coalition to End Childhood Lead Poisoning, GHHI replaces stand-alone housing intervention programs with an integrated, whole-house approach that produces sustainable green, healthy and safe homes. As a result, we are improving health, economic and social outcomes for families across the country. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Department of Energy (DOE), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Council on Foundations, and numerous philanthropic partners, GHHI serves as the national model for green and healthy homes interventions, and has produced 4,900 GHHI housing units nationwide. GHHI continues to increase its impact across 16 sites: Atlanta, Baltimore, Buffalo, Chicago, Cleveland, Denver, Detroit, Dubuque, Flint, Jackson, New Haven, Oakland, Philadelphia, Providence, Salt Lake, and San Antonio.

The housing crisis is about more than affordability. Across the country, millions of people live in homes that are unsafe, unhealthy, and deteriorating, yet home repair remains largely overlooked in housing policy and public conversations.

Join us on October 22 at 1 PM for a webinar featuring Todd Swanstrom, Alan Mallach, and GHHI President and CEO, Ruth Ann Norton, to explore the urgent need to address housing deterioration and invest in preserving existing affordable homes.

Drawing on The Other Housing Crisis: Ending the Deterioration and Loss of Affordable Homes, the discussion will examine how home repair can improve resident health, preserve affordable housing, and strengthen communities. The conversation will also highlight GHHI’s Whole House Model, an integrated approach to home repair, climate change, and health equity.

📅 Date: October 22
🕐 Time: 1 PM

"Children’s Environmental Health Day, on October 8th, could not come at a more needed time. As our communities and families face so many challenges through reduced resources for environment and environmental health protections, we must stand up for our children and generations yet to be born.

Everyday, the team at the Green & Healthy Homes Initiative is fighting to create lead free, climate friendly and healthy housing to ensure all kids get not only a fair start but a healthy start in life.

We aim to combat legacy pollution in communities by creating healthier home environments and healthier communities."-President and CEO, Ruth Ann Norton

Join us in partnership with Healthy Climate Maryland, the Maryland Public Health Association (MdPHA), and Maryland LCV Voters Education Fund for a virtual panel on Thursday, October 8, at 12 p.m. ET to learn how you can stand up, speak out, and advocate for programs and resources that prioritize the health of our environment and our children.
