OAHHS Hospital Voice Fall/Winter 2019

31 Fall/Winter 2019 The model for Housing is Health is taken from Central City Concern: give people the support they need, and that stability can launch them back into productive lives. The Housing is Health program has become a national model for health care organizations creating partnerships with service providers to provide housing and a healthy environment. The six members of the initiative show what is possible when local health care partners partner with the public sector in the name of helping our vulnerable citizens and addressing a complex community crisis. There is a well-documented connection between housing and health.
