Range of Issues Around Health and Housing Lack of awareness, access and availability of community services: More than 800,000 people are on state Medicaid waiting lists, causing unnecessary institutionalization. People aging in place lose housing due to lack of support. Approximately 50% of HUD properties for older adults lack a service coordinator. Affordable and accessible housing stock: 48% of extremely low-income renter households are seniors (30%) or people with disabilities (18%) For every 100 extremely low-income renter households, there are only 40 affordable and available homes Fewer than 5% of housing units are livable for individuals with moderate mobility difficulties, while Less than 1% are accessible to people who use a wheelchair full time. Each year, nearly 900,000 individuals fall into homelessness One quarter of the total homeless population is reported to have a disability* One in three people who are chronically homeless have a mental health disability** 5

Building Connective Tissue to Support Housing & Health Partnerships The housing and health sectors are natural partners to tackle a range of issues, including ending homelessness, helping older adults age in place, and improving health in under-resourced communities.

Whats Possible When we work together to align and leverage our work to coordinate affordable, accessible housing with increased access to health and home and community-based services, we create the infrastructure to fully meet the needs of the people we serve. Partnerships don t just happen, however. They need connective tissue an infrastructure supporting frequent and systemic level collaborations to help form the partnership and hold it together over time.
