I am attempting to have our department adopt a social determinants of
health model for policy, which would involve bringing the state Housing
Finance and Development agency, Dept of Business, Economic Development,
Dept of Hawaiian Home Lands, etc to work on housing as a part of health,
but so far I know that our department is not having much success even in
the limited area of finding housing for consumers discharged from the
state mental health hospital.

Subject: [SDOH] FW: looking for references on Housing and Health
Organizations
forwarded on behalf of Heather Ganshorn, health librarian at Calgary
Regional Children's Hospital. I spoke with her about her request and
recommended Dennis' website, index and library; and also Wellesley
Institute. She's heard from some Australian contacts and found a couple
of older resources in Ontario (from DHCs), but not much else. Can you
help out? Here's the question:
~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ *
A patron would would like to know whether health
districts/regions/authorities are involved in any way in housing issues
(i.e. advocating for affordable housing, producing position statements
on housing as a determinant of health, or any other involvement with
housing initiatives such as low-income housing). She is interested in
any such involvement in North America, the UK, Europe, or Australia and
New Zealand.
Since a lot of this activity may not be published in the literature, if
anyone who knows of such initiatives could refer to the relevant web
sites/grey literature, it would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
