Unsafe and unhealthy housing conditions undermine residents' health and economic stability, disproportionately affecting marginalized communities. The Healthy Housing Local Action Challenge (HHLAC) supports cities in advancing equitable housing programs through technical assistance, partnerships, and community engagement. By integrating climate change mitigation, racial equity, and public health improvements, the initiative provides tools, expert guidance, and recognition programs to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, enhance energy efficiency, and empower communities economically.
