As part of the Home Matters movement’s goal to expand alliances from outside of the housing industry, we are pleased to welcome four new Home Matters supporters from different organizations that intersect with Home.  They include Children’s HealthWatch, Meals On Wheels San Francisco, Green & Healthy Homes Initiative and The Film Posse.

Children’s HealthWatch monitors the impact of economic conditions and public policies on the health and well-being of very young children.  For more than a decade, they have produced original, timely research and analysis linking nutrition, housing, energy and other policy issues to children’s health and development.

Dr. Megan Sandel, Children’s HealthWatch Principal Investigator, spoke at the Home Matters for Health symposium in San Francisco. Click here to watch a short excerpt of her comments from a panel discussion.
