Health and Housing Committee

Description and Activities

Affordable housing was the #1 priority identified in the 2017 Community Health Assessment and, as a result, the Partnership voted in April 2018 to create a Housing committee. After conversations with Durham housing stakeholders, the Partnership identified a gap in the area of health and housing. The committee began meeting in August 2018. Affordable housing continues to be the #1 priority, as identified in the 2023 Community Health Assessment.

The Health and Housing committee has completed its Health and Housing Committee Community Health Improvement Plan. Over the next three years, the committee will:

• Individuals have safe and adequate housing (free from interior hazards) that supports their health and wellbeing
• Work towards health promoting housing policies and procedures
• Strengthen the network of those providing housing resources to promote safe and adequate housing for people who live in Durham

All Health and Housing committee meetings are open to the public, with some in-person and some virtual. Visit the Partnership calendar to view meeting, dates, and locations, or join the mailing list by emailing Bria Miller, Partnership Coordinator.
