Housing As Healthcare: Address Social Determinants of Health
Description:
Access to affordable, safe, stable housing is a well-documented social determinant of health. The critical shortage of affordable housing nationally directly affects patients and providers, hindering health outcomes and contributing to repeat emergency room visits and hospital admissions. As providers continue to advance mission- and value-based care strategies, housing can be a high-impact component of those strategies. But, like health care, the housing industry operates with unique regulations, capital structures and business standards that warrant consideration as providers begin to explore potential housing strategies and investments. This session will explore potential housing investment strategies for health care providers, including initial business and legal considerations.
