Developing Cross-Sector Partnerships
This guide will provide health center staff with tools and strategies to initiate, develop, and sustain community partnerships to better serve older adult residents of public housing. Content was developed through a 4-session learning collaborative (LC) launched by the SDOH Academy with a small cohort of HRSA-funded health centers, Health Center Controlled Networks (HCCN), and Primary Care Associations (PCAs). The focus of these LC(s) was to share learning aimed at transforming care to better meet the socioeconomic circumstances and non-clinical needs of special and vulnerable populations.
Senior-Focused Health Programs for Public Housing Residents
This report provides Health Centers that are interested in developing new senior programs or enhancing existing ones with concrete examples on how to improve their senior patient interactions, increase access to care, and improve health outcomes for older adult populations.
Promoting CDC TIPS® Campaign Materials to Public Housing Residents
Around 34% of public housing residents smoke compared to 22% of the general adult population. Given the new smoke–free requirement at all public housing developments, NCHPH anticipates that many public housing residents will attempt to quit smoking and/or seek smoking cessation counseling and services from their local Health Centers. This publication by NCHPH explains the prevalence of smoking in public housing communities.
Addressing Violence in Public Housing Communities
The purpose of this report is to provide Health Centers located in or immediately accessible to public housing with best practices and examples of violence prevention and intervention programs that can be implemented in their communities. NCHPH conducted background research on violence and crime statistics from the Federal Bureau of Investigation Uniform Crime Reporting Program, interviewed four Health Center staff, and analyzed the interviews to identify overlapping themes, lessons learned, and successful strategies used to address and prevent violence.
