Welcome to our sixth annual #NHHMchat !

We'll get started in just a moment! But first, a little housekeeping....

#NHHM24 #HUDHealthyHomes #HealthyHomes #PublicHealth

A2: Data at the congressional district level has never existed on this scale before, which means training your #workforce to understand the data may be in order. Start with our #DashboardRoadmap series, showing example user journeys: youtu.be/svcWe8xwUMQ #NHHMchat #NHHM24

Thank you for coming out today in support of #NHHM24 ! We look forward to seeing all of you again next April!

#NHHMchat

Q2: Having a trained and empowered #workforce is critical to local #HealthyHousing efforts. What is working well to prepare this workforce? What kind of training or workforce development is missing for the field? Who else needs training? On which topics? #NHHMchat #NHHM24

Check-In Question: Let’s find out who’s here for the conversation! First, tell us where you’re chatting from today; then describe your organization either using an image or in under 10 words! #NHHMchat #NHHM24

Q1: The theme for HUD Healthy Homes’ National Healthy Homes Month 2024 is “Making an Impact: Healthy, Safe, and Resilient Homes.” What does this year’s theme mean to you/your organization/your community, and why is it important? #NHHMchat #NHHM24

Q8: What were you hoping we’d ask more about (home-based childcare, older adults, injury prevention, IAQ, racial equity, data, technology, partnerships, something else?). What healthy housing work are you excited about in 2024? #NHHMchat #NHHM24

Q6: Next month is Mental Health Awareness Month. Do you think housing impacts mental health? If so, what should we know about the connection, and what can we do about it? #NHHMchat #NHHM24 #MentalHealth #MHAM2024

Q9: Conversations about housing quality can get stuck when they focus on tradeoffs with other priorities like climate change or housing affordability. How can we help the field transcend this zero-sum game mentality and see housing as a powerful multi-solver? #NHHMchat #NHHM24

Q3: Rural, tribal & territorial communities experience significant health disparities but are often left out of conversations about housing quality. What are some promising approaches for improving housing quality in rural, tribal & territorial communities? #NHHMchat #NHHM24

Welcome to our fifth annual #NHHMchat !

We'll get started in just a moment! But first, a little housekeeping....

A8d: Proactive rental inspections are one of the most powerful tools we have to find and fix housing hazards before people are exposed and harmed. We’re excited to see code officials across the country taking action to protect residents. bit.ly/NCHHcoachPRI #NHHMchat #NHHM24

A1: Safe & affordable housing is a national issue 🚨 Data can help show where opportunity areas exist, providing evidence on where to target resources and focus policy efforts. We hope that health leaders can use our data to ground their efforts for #HealthyHousing . #NHHMchat

A9: Data shows how connected health issues are – whether #ClimateChange or #AffordableHousing , data provides evidence for targeting resources & policies, highlighting opportunity areas & overcoming zero-sum mentality by showing relationships between complex issues. #NHHMchat

A7: The Dashboard (est 2023) is a new, first-of-its-kind tool offering trusted data on health & its drivers for all 435 congressional districts (+ DC). Building off the success of City Health Dashboard we aim to provide data to drive positive change in #PublicHealth 💪 #NHHMchat #NHHM24
