The Health & Housing Consortium

Uniting New York City’s healthcare, housing, and homeless services systems to better serve New Yorkers in need.

Our Work

New Yorkers with both health and housing needs often cycle between hospitals, shelters, and the street.

Yet the city’s healthcare, homeless services, and housing systems lack the coordination, training, and resources to provide better care.

The Consortium is bridging these divides to improve outcomes for all.

  • Trainings

    Strengthening NYC’s healthcare & housing workforces with first-rate trainings and resources

  • Collaboration

    Connecting people across healthcare & housing to break down barriers and address challenges

  • Advocacy

    Reforming the systems to improve outcomes for New Yorkers with unmet health and housing needs
