Wednesday, November 20th, 2019
Health and success begin at home, yet millions of Americans live in housing that is making them sick. Young children are particularly vulnerable to lead poisoning and asthma. NLC is committed to supporting member efforts to provide safe and affordable housing for every family. NLC has selected six cities through a competitive application process to come together on health hazards in housing. The Healthy Housing City Leaders’ Forum will first convene in Charlotte, North Carolina in December. The six participating cities are:
- Baton Rouge, Louisiana
- Bloomington, Illinois
- Charlotte, North Carolina
- Detroit, Michigan
- Durham, North Carolina
- Jersey City, New Jersey
