Housing design
Uses housing design to support better health outcomes.
Based in Brooklyn, ARCHIVE Global is an international organization focused on the links between housing and health. It uses housing design as a preventive strategy to improve health outcomes in vulnerable communities around the world. Its work combines built-environment interventions with community health awareness campaigns. These interventions are described as simple, innovative, and cost-effective. The organization addresses housing conditions that can expose residents to infectious disease, including unsafe household materials, inadequate water and sanitation, dirt floors, poor ventilation, and overcrowding. It also highlights risks from asbestos, lead, and radon, as well as limited access to community resources. ARCHIVE Global is the flagship program of the Healthy Housing Portfolio at the International Society for Urban Health.
