Abstract:
Access to safe, well-maintained housing is critical to good health. Many healthcare providers recognize this connection, but hesitate to broach the topic of housing with patients if they lack tools to help them. This guide was created to help equip New York City-based healthcare providers with tools to facilitate conversations with their patients regarding housing and to link them to appropriate resources. It aims to support providers in assisting patients that are housed, but may be facing housing instability and/or unhealthy housing conditions. Given the complexity of the city's housing market, it is not feasible to include every relevant resource or to provide guidance specific to all scenarios. Instead, this guide offers providers a place to start and information on the types of housing resources and programs that may be helpful.
