The Archive Institute a Nj Nonprofit Corporation

ARCHIVE (Architecture for Health in Vulnerable Environments) works at the intersection of architecture, housing and public health, delivering housing design strategies to combat disease around the world. Our core belief is that a person's health should not be negatively impacted by their housing environment. Instead, we view healthy housing as a basic human right, playing a critical role in preventing disease and thereby improving socio-economic outcomes in poor and vulnerable households, including: Improved school attendance, academic performance and human capital development; Increased home-value and access to credit; Improved income-generation and economic opportunity; An escape from persistent cyclic poverty.

Archive global architecture for health in vulnerable environments is an award-winning international organization that uses housing design as a key preventative strategy in improving health outcomes in vulnerable communities around the world. Through simple innovative and cost-effective built environment interventions paired with community health awareness campaigns our research has proven that these strategies improve the health-outcomes of our beneficiaries.
