News & Publications
Our intent is for people living in households earning less than 80% of the area median income have fair and just opportunities to be as healthy as possible with access to healthy food, supportive resources and services, and quality efficient affordable housing. GenesisHOPE publishes various reports, case studies, and white papers to promote healthy living and more equitable communities.
"I am clear as I think of children that have no context of a healthy neighborhood. We have set the direction of our course of action to promote healthy living; provide healthy homes; attract and retain businesses; and facilitate policy systems & environmental changes for more equitable communities"
