“This study examines emerging interventions that integrate housing and health services for low-income people, with a focus on interventions where health care organizations have taken a significant
leadership role. Our research pairs over 30 expert interviews with six in-depth case studies — briefly
profiled below and available as separate publications — to paint a detailed picture of emerging strategies and their potential to be sustained, expanded, and replicated elsewhere. The interventions we profile differ in scope, geography, population, and partner characteristics. Some were motivated by external influences, such as policy changes or community pressure. Others grew out of an evolving business strategy or leadership shake-up. Despite their differences, they are all rooted in an idea that is gaining traction among health care leaders across the country: investing in housing is investing in health.”
