The National Center for Healthy Housing is a United States charity dedicated to reducing the risk of lead poisoning and exposure to other environmental hazards in the home.[1] Founded by Fannie Mae in 1992, it was originally known as the National Center for Lead-Safe Housing. It is based in Columbia, Maryland.[2]
Rick Nevin, an advisor to the center, has published research claiming to demonstrate a strong link between childhood lead poisoning and later violent crime, demonstrated by a drop in crime statistics following the elimination of lead from gasoline.[3]
