Ruth Ann Norton, executive director of the National Coalition to End Childhood Lead Poisoning (CECLP), founded the Green & Healthy Homes Initiative (GHHI) in order to leverage newly available federal funds from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) for weatherizing low-income housing. Unfortunately, by June 2011, the ARRA funding was winding down, and Norton was looking for other, sustainable sources of financing to keep the GHHI program alive.
