The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD's) Neighborhood Networks (NN) and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) have teamed up to launch Healthy Neighborhoods, a monthly Webinar series aimed at providing resources for healthy living to residents of HUD housing. Multifamily and Public Housing Neighborhood Networks centers are invited to participate in the Webinars. Representatives of the National Library of Medicine (NLM) and the National Network of Libraries of Medicine (NN/LM) will conduct the Webinars. All Webinars will be held from 2 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. Eastern Time. A schedule is provided below.

Prior to each Webinar, centers will receive, via e-mail, a PDF of the PowerPoint handouts. Center staff are encouraged to publicize these Webinars in advance so residents can make plans to attend and derive the benefits of the information provided.
