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.

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

Featured Events

  • Training: Health-Harming Housing and Tactics to Assist Patients in Obtaining Healthier Homes

    NYLAG's LegalHealth division will provide information on how to assist tenants in receiving much needed repairs in their apartment, which can lead to improvements in their overall health. The training is led by Senior Staff Attorney, Joseph Schofield, who leads the divisions Health Homes Project.

  • Training: Psychosocial Assessment

    Psychosocial assessments are a core tool across social services and behavioral health settings. This training provides staff with a clear, practical framework for developing psychosocials that are accurate, person-centered, and clinically useful. Participants will learn what belongs in each section of a psychosocial, how to gather information through both scheduled assessments and everyday engagement, and how to document objectively without bias.

  • Training: Violence and Crisis Management

    Staff across social services may encounter moments of agitation, conflict, or behavioral escalation in their day-to-day work. This training helps staff recognize early warning signs, use verbal de-escalation strategies, and maintain safety in ways that support the well-being of both clients and staff.
