What Healthy Housing Solutions does

Healthy Housing Solutions, Inc. is a Columbia, Maryland-based certified small business and residential environmental health and safety consulting firm operating as a wholly owned for-profit subsidiary of the National Center for Healthy Housing (NCHH), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Founded in 2003 with a staff of approximately 9 listed professionals, the firm delivers eight core consulting service lines: applied field research, evaluation, technical training course and curricula development, technical manuals and papers creation, policy and regulatory support, technical assistance and program development, strategic planning and stakeholder coordination, and logistical and technical support for conferences and training events.

The company's primary clients are federal agencies, with multiyear IDIQ mission support task order contracts held continuously with HUD's Office of Lead Hazard Control and Healthy Homes since 2004 and CDC's Lead Poisoning Prevention Branch since 2010. Cumulative disclosed federal contract awards exceed $20 million, plus an additional $285,000 in state and local engagements since FY2004. The firm holds GSA Multiple Award Schedule contracts (MAS 541620 Environmental Consulting and MAS 611430 Professional Management Development Training; Contract #47QRAA18D00H1) and distributes services through GSA Advantage. Proprietary technology assets include the Healthy Communities Index (10 domains, 31 indicators), the Healthy Communities Assessment Tool, a 24-session Lead Poisoning Prevention Training Center curriculum, and design and sampling methodology contributions to the American Healthy Homes Survey II.

The business model is professional services consulting priced through GSA Schedule rates and federal procurement vehicles. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting federal, state, and local government agencies via direct relationship management with procurement officers and program managers, supplemented by conference presence (NEHA AEC, HUD Healthy Homes Conference) and technical publications distribution. Customer segments span federal agencies (primary), state and local health departments, nonprofit organizations, healthcare providers, and private sector property owners, though federal work dominates the revenue base.
