This project report explores the use of a Health in All Policies (HiAP) approach by the Georgia Health Policy Center (GHPC) to integrate health perspectives into affordable housing policy and practice in Georgia. It focuses on five interconnected projects from over a decade-long collaboration to illustrate how the GHPC team started with a Health Impact Assessment (HIA) to seed cross-sector partnerships and then sustained them through subsequent collaborations. These projects included comprehensive-, intermediate-, and rapid-scale HIAs, as well as direct collaborations on housing development funding applications and a multidisciplinary research study on public housing renovations. This paper documents how HiAP tactics were applied across these projects to foster sustained collaboration and promote health equity. The insights offered highlight how the HiAP approach cultivated mindset shifts among public health practitioners, housing stakeholders, and policymakers, leading to a broader understanding of health and housing intersections. This synthesis contributes practical guidance for practitioners looking to advance the Vital Conditions for Health and Well-Being through housing policy initiatives.
本项目报告探讨了佐治亚州健康政策中心（GHPC）采用的“健康融入所有政策”（HiAP）方法，将健康视角纳入佐治亚州的经济适用房政策和实践中。它重点关注了长达十多年合作中的五个相互关联的项目，以说明GHPC团队如何从健康影响评估（HIA）开始，建立跨部门伙伴关系，然后通过后续合作维持这些关系。这些项目包括全面、中级和快速规模的HIA，以及在住房开发资金申请方面的直接合作和一项关于公共住房翻新的多学科研究。本文记录了HiAP策略如何应用于这些项目，以促进持续合作并推动健康公平。所提供的见解突出了HiAP方法如何在公共卫生从业者、住房利益相关者和政策制定者中培养思维转变，从而对健康与住房的交叉点有更广泛的理解。这一综合报告为希望通过住房政策举措促进健康和福祉的重要条件的从业者提供了实用指导。
