The Health through Housing Coalition (HtHC) is a digital platform that aims to optimize the positive impact of housing on health through interdisciplinary synergies.
About HtHC
The built environment is a powerful tool to combat health problems, especially for the 1.6 billion people living in inadequate housing worldwide. However, working across disciplines to create collaborative design solutions requires coordination, and can be difficult to fund.
In order to enable a more collaborative process, in 2020, ARCHIVE Global, along with multiple collaborators, launched the HtHC to exchange knowledge, and facilitate partnerships and connections across sectors and industries. Our aim is that this will lead to collaborations and projects to improve housing for positive health outcomes in vulnerable communities worldwide.
