Connecting grantees of the CSH/CLPHA/UnitedHealthcare planning grant, funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, that seeks to align public housing authorities (PHAs) and Medicare managed care organizations (MCOs) in three states -- Ohio, Texas, and Washington State -- at the system, program, and individual level.
From the Office of Policy Development and Research (PD&R) at the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development:
This community is a space for Housing Is members interested in the intersections of affordable housing and nutrition. Research shows that many low-income families experience food insecurity and that hungry children perform worse in school. Affordable housing can be a platform to help families access healthy foods and eating habits. The Housing Is initiative stands on the notion that affordable housing is influenced by a variety of systems, and that it is only through cross-sector collaboration that we will build the partnerships that will help improve lives.
