The document discusses the relationship between housing and health. It notes that the National Center for Healthy Housing (NCHH) conducts research, promotes policies, and provides training to increase the integration of health and safety in housing. It also discusses how housing quality, affordability, and neighborhood characteristics can impact physical and psychological health. Specifically, it cites a study finding that 40% of homes have health or safety hazards and how high housing costs, lack of access to services, and concentrated poverty affect health. The document advocates using health impact assessments to systematically consider health in housing and community development decisions.

Editor's Notes
- (Mapping on next two slides) Mapping indicators for health resources demonstrated that neighborhoods with planned growth excelled in some health resources but had significant gaps with others. The city established a fund to build new infrastructure for the community. Local scale modeling demonstrated “hot spots” of pollution that were not seen by the existing regional air pollution monitors. The city used these models to justify higher standards of building ventilation. Can you ask Amanda is there a way to combine these three (or 2) maps into one – maybe through animation so we have them on one slide.
- Review this slide after the tree exercise to wrap it up. Relevant stats: Only 20 - 30% of all health issues that people face are caused by genetic and genetics contribute 10-15% to disease and injury 10-15% of disease and injury is related to access to health care Factors responsible for population health: Health status is determined by: Genetics: 20 – 30% Health care: 10% Social, environmental conditions, and behavior: 60 – 70%
