027: The Future of Healthy Housing—with Amanda Reddy of NCHH
“Housing can be a multi-solver. When we invest in healthy homes, we’re not just preventing harm to those families—we’re saving money, we’re creating jobs, we’re improving property values, we’re strengthening community resilience”
Episode Details:
In part two of Peter Stuart’s conversation with Amanda Reddy, Executive Director of the National Center for Healthy Housing, we turn from challenges to solutions—how we can reimagine policy, partnerships, and investment to create healthier homes for all.
Amanda discusses how housing hazards cost the U.S. tens of billions each year, but also how investing in healthier housing pays dividends for families, communities, and the economy. She shares her insights on incentive structures like tax credits, the difference between “green” and “healthy,” and the growing movement to make well-being a central part of housing policy.
Key Topics:
The true cost of inaction and how to communicate urgency
New policy levers and incentive models for healthier housing
Why “green” doesn’t always mean “healthy”
How designers, developers, and listeners can take action
