The Aging and Disability Business Institute is hosting a pre-conference intensive from 8:30 AM – 12:00 PM CT that will discuss how to improve housing stability through health care contracts. 

Housing instability is associated with poor health, increased risk for falls, and avoidable emergency department visits and hospitalizations. Keys to improving a person’s ability to continue to live in their home—also known as housing stability—include affordable, accessible, and safe housing with ready access to home and community-based services. AAAs can use their OAA funding to support housing stability, but health care contracting can enable them to serve a fuller range of individuals’ needs and/or expand the number of older adults and caregivers they serve. Learn how health care contracts can support critical housing stability functions. Hear from federal presenters on some opportunities available through the American Rescue Plan Act and learn about promising AAA partnerships with housing and health care providers.
