“By delivering a standard of excellence in its work, ghhi aims to eradicate the negative health impacts of unhealthy housing and unjust policies for children, seniors and families to ensure better health, economic and social outcomes in historically disinvested communities with an emphasis on communities of color. Ghhi's services are focused on serving households with vulnerable children, families and older adults who reside in unhealthy housing. Ghhi developed and adopted a substantial racial equity plan in 2020 to drive the organization's continued commitment to implementing racial equity through all programs, services, practices and operations at the national, state and local level. History and results ghhi's lead poisoning prevention services and public policy work in maryland has achieved a 99% decline in statewide childhood lead poisoning resulting in a $44.5 billion return on investment. Ghhi's leadership nationally in advancing lead poisoning prevention and healthy homes has included among other achievements: authored and assisted implementation of strategic action plans to eliminate childhood lead poisoning resulting in significant investments of new resources, policy changes and significant prevention results (i.e. States of maryland and new jersey, city of st. Louis); directly helped raise $600 million for lead poisoning prevention efforts across the us including investments from hospital community benefit programs, medicaid/chip funds, philanthropic investment and federal and state grants; and led efforts through our national calls to action and national lead summit and education to key stakeholders to substantially increase funding for lead poisoning prevention and remediation for cdc and hud. Ghhi has coordinated greater integration of healthy homes and safety efforts with weatherization programs in partnership with the department of energy and the home performance field and has led the national movement to incorporate health, housing and energy into a whole house strategy including its model being adopted by hud to support the integration of lead hazard reduction, housing rehabilitation and weatherization resources. Ghhi's model served as the inspiration for the hud healthy homes and weatherization cooperation demonstration grant program. Known for its innovative solutions, the ghhi model was launched in 2009 to more effectively and efficiently integrate housing interventions and build new avenues for funding what works -- at scale. Ghhi's model has been endorsed by the federal interagency work group on healthy housing and its principles have been incorporated into federal notices of funds availability and local and state agency programs. Ghhi provides technical assistance in best practices to implement programs and policies across the country that support healthy, safe, and energy efficient housing; advance racial and health equity; unlock innovative investment in healthy housing, including through healthcare; and address social determinants of health. Ghhi builds upon lessons learned from our comprehensive, robust healthy homes and energy efficiency direct service delivery programs serving maryland, rhode island, lancaster, pennsylvania, trenton, new jersey, memphis/shelby county, tennessee, detroit, michigan, and jackson, mississippi in order to develop a national network of over 75 communities in 40 states implementing ghhi models. This strategy replaces siloed housing intervention programs with an integrated, single stream intake, assessment and intervention model to comprehensively combine healthy homes, lead hazard reduction and energy efficiency resources. Ghhi provides technical assistance to local partners to align, braid and coordinate funding resources to deliver housing remediation services in low-income communities across the us.
