Nationwide Children's Hospital and Partners Focus on Columbus's South Side

HUD User publishes a series of case studies based on federal, state, and local strategies that increase affordable housing opportunities and support sustainable community development. The projects and community development efforts featured in these reports have demonstrated innovation through a multitude of partnerships and initiatives.

Nationwide Children's Hospital, a large nonprofit pediatric healthcare network based in Ohio, works with local organizations to revitalize the South Side neighborhood in Columbus through the Healthy Neighborhoods Healthy Families initiative. In partnership with the local faith-based nonprofit Community Development for All People, the hospital works in the impact areas of affordable housing, education, health and wellness, safe and accessible neighborhoods, and workforce development. Blight remediation and housing redevelopment have formed the cornerstone of the initiative's work and have served to stabilize the neighborhood.
