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.

    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

  • Training: Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)

    Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) can have lasting impacts on a person’s physical health, cognitive functioning, behavior, and ability to engage with services. For frontline staff working across housing, healthcare, and social services, understanding TBI is critical to providing effective, compassionate support.

  • Training: Hypertension

    Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is a common but often underdiagnosed condition that can lead to serious health complications if left unmanaged. For individuals experiencing housing instability or limited access to healthcare, managing hypertension can be especially challenging due to barriers such as inconsistent care, stress, and limited access to healthy food and medications.

  • Training: Infestations

    Infestations such as bed bugs, lice, and scabies are often closely tied to housing instability and can disproportionately impact individuals experiencing homelessness. Beyond the physical effects, infestations are heavily stigmatized, which can lead to shame, delayed reporting, and barriers to accessing care and services.
