Healthy Housing for All: How Affordable Housing is Leading the Way

Healthy Housing for All: How Affordable Housing is Leading the Way is a collaboration between the Center for Active Design, the Urban Land Institute's (ULI) Building Healthy Places Initiative and ULI's Affordable & Workplace Housing Council. This inspiring resource celebrates the significant achievements of the affordable housing industry, and explores the many ways that health-supporting design is being championed by affordable housing developers—and influencing the broader housing market. Healthy Housing for All captures the growing momentum of expressly incorporating active design within housing. The lessons gleaned not only demonstrate trailblazing efforts to improve resident wellbeing, but also outline financial motivations, and incentives such as Fannie Mae's Healthy Housing Rewards(™) initiative, pointing to the role of the financial sector in incentivizing healthy development.
