Will the data you're going to be collecting from the pilot sites be publicly available?

Ruth Ann, What have you found to be the biggest barriers to the GHHI?

You talked briefly about the proportion of renter- versus owner-occupied units in the GHHI pilot program in Baltimore. Do you have any information for the other cities? What about single- versus multi-family units?

A new page has recently been added to HousingPolicy.org's Improve Residential Energy Efficiency Toolkit, focusing on the links between energy-efficiency and health. Click here to view the page and learn about the benefits of green, healthy homes.

Will your Green & Healthy Homes work focus at all on quality issues in vacant properties or on helping restore healthy conditions in homes that are attached to vacants?

I ask because a Baltimore Sun article today profiled a family whose home is attached to a vacant property and has had serious water damage and mold issues related to damage in the vacant. They're concerned about the health hazards their home now poses to their young children. It seems like GHHI may be able to help prevent and restore healthy conditions in situations like this.
