America is missing millions of homes, and three mayors are showing how to build them faster: a digital permitting system and a 30-day clock on approvals in @MayorToddGloria's @CityofSanDiego, accessory dwelling units (ADUs) expanding across Mayor @KirkPWatson's @austintexasgov, and one strike force with a single job in Mayor @andreforatlanta's @CityofAtlanta, where more than 14,000 homes are built or underway.
With @USAccelerate and experts like @PublicDigitalHQ, we are moving what works to more city halls across the country, with the funds, expertise, and peers that will prove how local government will get the job done.

After the LA fires, I wanted to know what was really in the air we were breathing. Bloomberg Fellow Kathleen Hetrick traced it back to the materials our homes are built with, and to the communities where they’re made.
“Everyone cares about the health of our grandchildren and our babies and our schools.”
From outrage to optimism. 🌱

The air we breathe, the food we eat, and the places we live all shape how long we live. I came to Baltimore for the Bloomberg American Health Summit to meet the people working to improve that. Proud to partner with @BloombergDotOrg on this three-part series from the Summit.
Up next: meeting the Bloomberg Fellows. 👀

You asked. Public health experts answered. 🎤
Hear from the people working to tackle some of today's biggest health challenges at the #BloombergAmericanHealthSummit26.
The future of public health is bright.
The Bloomberg American Health Initiative Fellows are putting their training at @JohnsHopkinsSPH to work—partnering with organizations to drive progress on overdose prevention, food systems, environmental health, violence prevention, and adolescent health.
Overdoses are the leading cause of death for American adults under age 45.
At the #BloombergAmericanHealthSummit26, we announced a new $150 million commitment to our overdose prevention initiative, expanding efforts to make treatment available in all correctional facilities and emergency rooms in six states.
It’s an ambitious goal — but, over the last ten years, the Bloomberg American Health Initiative has helped raise the bar for what’s possible.

The way out of America's housing shortage runs through city hall.
That's why we're bringing the best of municipal innovation to the nation's building charge, moving the most effective local solutions from the places that pioneered them — Mayor @AndreforAtlanta's @CityofAtlanta, Mayor @KirkPWatson's @AustinTexasGov, Mayor @ToddGloria's @CityofSanDiego — to up to 30 more across the country.
With @USAccelerate and @PublicDigitalHQ, we will help mayors ready to lead deliver what residents need most: more homes.

When cities invest in cleaner air, they invest in brighter futures for kids.
A landmark study from @ColumbiaMSPH that followed more than 1,000 mother-child pairs in New York City found that as air pollution declined, young children’s cognitive development scores improved — adding to the evidence that clean air policies can help protect developing brains.
