NCHPH Promising Practices Portal

The National Center for Health in Public Housing (NCHPH) is dedicated to sharing a diverse range of promising practices to support community health and well-being. In addition to our previously highlighted areas—Diabetes Prevention & Management, COVID-19, and Health Center & Housing Partnerships—we are now including additional subjects such as HIV, Social Determinants of Health, Behavioral Health, and Community Partnerships and more.

Our strategies have been developed through various webinars, learning collaboratives, and community engagement efforts over the past few years. These initiatives focus on improving access to care, addressing behavioral health needs, and tackling broader public health challenges. We invite you to contribute to this growing collection of practices by sharing what your health center has been doing to enhance community health.
