The program term is October 1, 2023, through September 30, 2024. Additional funding will be looked for to continue efforts.

Multi-sector Collaboration

As part of the overarching SDOH Strategy, multisector cooperation is crucial to supporting community-led efforts. By partnering with MSHDA, the MDHHS Policy and Planning Office has actually established the Good Housing = Good Health Program to increase and promote real estate stabilization resources and services across the state. Funding has been supplied to local health partners to hire and keep neighborhood health workers (likewise referred to as navigators) who will proactively seek opportunities to link Michigan citizens to real estate resources and services. This effort showcases the value of collaborative partnerships in developing healthier and thriving communities.
