The National Center for Healthy Housing (NCHH) is a national nonprofit organization dedicated to creating safe and healthy housing for American families. Its research often provides a scientific basis for federal, state, and local policies and programs.^[1][2] NCHH trained nearly 45,000 individuals in healthy housing practices from 2005 through 2014. NCHH's advocacy efforts aim to ensure that health is considered in housing policy and that housing is valued as a determinant of health. Through partnerships, NCHH seeks to reduce health disparities in low-income communities and communities of color.^[3] Founded by Fannie Mae in 1992, it was originally known as the National Center for Lead-Safe Housing.^[4] NCHH's main office is based in downtown Columbia, Maryland.^[5]
