This session will discuss the relationship between health and housing (or lack of housing), and share recent and current collaborations that demonstrate how quality supportive housing improves health, particularly for the chronically homeless. Panelists will share public housing financing models, support services in both metropolitan and rural communities, value-based care initiatives, and case studies. Presenters will focus on public and private resources for housing acquisition master leasing, and supports available through Medicaid.
