Summary

Housing Prescriptions as Health Care is a research project studying the effects of an innovative intervention that combines services across the health, housing, social and legal service sectors in order to improve housing stability and child health outcomes among participants. The housing intervention developed for this study specifically addresses issues including families who are: paying more than 50 percent of income on rent or utilities, moving frequently, experiencing homelessness, but are not eligible for shelter through the Department of Housing and Community Development's Emergency Assistance program, or were unable to pay rent on time in the past year. This research explores how coordinated and comprehensive housing services offered through intensive case management improves housing stability and health outcomes for families of young children.
