Food at Home: Affordable Housing as a Platform to Overcome Nutritional Challenges

The report by Enterprise Community Partners, with funding from the Annie E. Casey Foundation, highlights some of the existing programs and best practices in addressing the nutritional needs of low-income communities. It also provides a series of actionable recommendations that demonstrate how housing providers can serve as a crucial conduit for providing low-income families with access to healthy foods and fostering healthy eating. The goal of this paper is to link the efforts of community developers, affordable housing providers, and other stakeholders and to advance the conversation between the housing and health fields.
