Amanda Reddy, MS, is the Executive Director of the National Center for Healthy Housing (NCHH) and a member of the Board of Directors of the National Carbon Monoxide Awareness Association (NCOAA). She leads a national effort to advance housing as a platform for health and equity, drawing on more than two decades of experience in environmental health, indoor air quality, and systems-level policy change.

Amanda often says she “took a job and found a calling,” but her path into healthy housing actually began with carbon monoxide. Her master’s thesis focused on carbon monoxide exposure, which led to her first position as a research scientist supporting New York State Department of Health programs to improve indoor and outdoor air quality in homes, schools, workplaces, and community settings. That early work on CO and air quality continues to shape her perspective today.

At NCHH, Amanda works with communities across the country to prevent housing-related illness and injury through evidence-based and equitable solutions. She is a nationally recognized voice at the intersection of housing and health and has served as a strategic and technical advisor to federal, state, and local agencies and organizations. Under her leadership, NCHH has strengthened its impact, visibility, and partnerships, helping advance lasting systems change.

She holds degrees in environmental health from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine and neuroscience from Mount Holyoke College.
