The Green & Healthy Homes Initiative (GHHI) is a national nonprofit dedicated to breaking the link between unhealthy housing and unhealthy families. Formerly known as the Coalition to End Childhood Lead Poisoning, GHHI replaces stand-alone intervention programs with an integrated, whole-house approach that produces healthy, safe and energy efficient homes. As a result, we are improving health, economic and social outcomes for families across the country. GHHI serves as the national model for green and healthy homes interventions and is currently working in Austin, Atlanta, Baltimore, Buffalo, Chicago, Cleveland, Denver, Detroit, Dubuque, Flint, Jackson, Lansing, Lewiston Auburn, Marin County, New Haven, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Providence, Salt Lake, San Antonio and Staten Island.The GHHI model provides a one-stop-shop for families seeking housing intervention programs and related funding, so that clients living in low- to moderate-income households can access expedient and highly effective home repairs. Whole-home interventions can include remediating lead, mold and safety hazards, reducing asthma triggers, installing energy efficient upgrades, weatherizing the home and educating residents on proper maintenance and energy reduction strategies. These comprehensive interventions not only stabilize individual homes, but strengthen communities by allowing residents to remain in properties that they would otherwise have to vacate due to hazards in the home and escalating energy consumption costs.Learn more at www.ghhi.org or follow us @HealthyHousing.
