Green & Healthy Homes Initiative operates in the civic and social sector with a focus on health, equity, and the social determinants of housing quality. Its work centers on creating healthy, safe, and energy-efficient homes to mitigate the adverse health effects associated with unhealthy housing and unjust policies, particularly for children, seniors, and families in historically disinvested communities, with an emphasis on communities of color. Based in Baltimore, Maryland, the organization serves as a local and broader advocate for housing-related health improvements and strives to advance better health, economic, and social outcomes through safer housing. It positions itself within the housing and community development space by addressing disparities in housing conditions and advocating for policies that support healthier living environments.
