Health and Housing Committee

Description and Activities

Affordable housing was the #1 priority identified in the 2017 Community Health Assessment. 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.

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

• Obtain, maintain, synthesize high quality data
• Ensure NCCare360 has information it needs related to housing
• Elevate conversation about how important affordable housing in for health

All Health and Housing committee meetings are open to the public. Partnership committee meetings have been held virtually using the Zoom platform since May 2020. Visit the Partnership calendar to view committee meeting dates, times and Zoom links.
