Abstract

The Leah Zallman Center for Immigrant Health Research (LZC), the Institute for Community Health, and No Kid Hungry are proud to jointly release the Nutrition in Housing Micro-Report.

The Nutrition in Housing (NIH) program implemented by Share Our Strength — No Kid Hungry in collaboration with NHP Foundation and Mercy Housing strengthened existing partnerships and developed new nutrition-oriented programs to improve the food environment and nutrition knowledge in affordable housing settings within food deserts in four U.S. cities.

By leveraging Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP/EBT) funds to increase nutritious food access, increasing awareness about food quality and nutrition, and taking advantage of available resources, NIH shows promising results for enhancing the food environment and positively impacting overall nutrition and well-being for people living in affordable housing communities.[nectar_btn size=”large” open_new_tab=”true” button_style=”regular” button_color_2=”Extra-Color-1″ icon_family=”none” text=”DOWNLOAD THE PUBLICATION” url=”https://lzc.ich-mu.capetivate.com/wp-content/uploads/Nutrition-in-Housing-Micro-report-1.pdf”]
