- A growing body of literature suggests that living in poverty
has a serious detrimental affect on a person’s health,
well-being, and future opportunities. This article will
explore this relationship, and look at the Moving to Opportunity
for Fair Housing Demonstration Program, which examines what
happens when very poor families have the chance to move
out of subsidized housing in five very large American cities.
- Environmental hazards in the home harm millions of children
each year. Several federal agencies, including HUD, EPA
and the CDC, are working to help local communities reduce
and minimize hazards such as lead-based paint and mold.
This article will look at how these agencies are focusing
on prevention and planning, and will explore some best practices
at the local level.
- In June, PATH unveiled an architectural model of a Concept
Home in Washington, DC. This article will profile the model
and look at the proposed broad changes in the way the homebuilding
industry operates, so that high-quality homes can be built
faster, better, with less waste, and at lower cost.
- Another article will focus on the National Center for
Healthy Housing, a nonprofit organization working with HUD’s
Office of Lead Hazard Control Healthy Homes Initiative to
eliminate lead hazards in more than 25 home-based childcare
programs in Upstate New York.
