Just as housing can lead to health, so too can health care lead to housing. This endeavor is foundational to the Street Health Outreach & Wellness (SHOW) initiative, run by New York City Health + Hospitals, the largest municipal healthcare organization in the nation. From a human-centered aim, the SHOW program utilizes street medicine and the system’s Primary Care Safety Net clinics to engage individuals who are street homeless and provide wrap-around services that forge that pathway from health care to housing, and with housing to health and wellbeing.
