Multi-sector Collaboration

As part of the overarching SDOH Strategy, multisector partnership is crucial to supporting community-led efforts. By partnering with MSHDA, the MDHHS Policy and Planning Office has developed the Good Housing = Good Health Program to increase and promote housing stabilization resources and services across the state. Funding has been provided to regional health partners to work with and maintain community health workers (also referred to as navigators) who will proactively seek opportunities to link Michigan citizens to housing resources and services. This effort showcases the importance of collective partnerships in producing healthier and flourishing neighborhoods.
