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

Featured Events

  • Supportive Housing Marketplace

    Looking to help place your clients in supportive housing? Join the Consortium for a Supportive Housing Marketplace on March 19th! The Housing Marketplace is a valuable opportunity for cross-sector collaboration, bringing together housing providers, hospitals, shelter providers, and other stakeholders to expedite the housing referral process. These events allow participants to learn not only about housing vacancies, but also about the broader range of services available within each housing program.

  • MEMBER EXCLUSIVE: Medicaid Advocate Office Hour

    Ask a Medicaid Advocate is an opportunity for staff from the health, housing, and social service sectors to ask questions about navigating New York City Medicaid systems for clients, patients, and themselves. The session is staffed by Health Justice Advocates from the Mental Health Project/Urban Justice Center. Questions will be limited to obtaining, using, and keeping Medicaid benefits, such as: How does my client apply for home care? What is a Spend Down and when is it used? What is a Pooled Trust and why might a client need one? NYSOH, HRA, PPL, CDPAP, FI, MECM, NYMC, PA - what do these acronyms mean?

  • MEMBER EXCLUSIVE: Networking Happy Hour

    Unwind and connect with fellow professionals and Consortium members from New York City’s housing, healthcare, and social services sectors. This is a chance to catch up with familiar faces, meet new colleagues, and share ideas. Enjoy complimentary drinks and light bites while building connections that strengthen our shared mission of improving health equity and housing stability in New York City.
