The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development has awarded a 3-year, $750,000 grant to David Salkever (Public Policy), the Green and Healthy Homes Initiative™ (GHHI), and The Hilltop Institute at UMBC to conduct a cost benefit analysis of the reduction in asthma and associated Medicaid expenditures resulting from the implementation of GHHI interventions.

GHHI is a national program spearheaded by the Coalition to End Childhood Lead Poisoning. GHHI integrates health-based housing interventions with weatherization to create access to healthy homes for children in low income neighborhoods.

In addition to principal investigator David Salkever, the research team includes Michael Abrams of The Hilltop Institute, Ruth Ann Norton, Executive Director of the Coalition to End Childhood Lead Poisoning/GHHI, and researchers from the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine and the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.
