About Us

The Health & Housing Consortium (“the Consortium”) is a collaborative network of health care, housing, homeless and social service organizations, and government partners with the shared goal of improving health equity and housing stability in New York City. We do this by fostering cross-sector relationships, informing policy, and building the capacity of frontline workers to support people with unmet health and housing needs.

The Consortium envisions a world where all people live healthy, fulfilling lives and experience safety and holistic wellbeing in the housing and communities of their choice, with the support they need to thrive.

We recognize health and housing as fundamental human rights and core racial justice issues.

We design service delivery around the experience and dignity of the individual.

We create an environment of honesty about systemic racism in our sectors and take responsibility for preventing further harm.

We prioritize the respect, support, and fair compensation of health and human service workers.
