Michigan Department of Health & Human Services

Health isn't just about doctor visits—it's influenced by where we live, what we eat, how we get around, and the policies shaping these areas. We integrate health into all policy decisions through Michigan's Phase III Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) Strategy, focusing on key domains like housing, food access, and transportation. ·       Good Housing = Good Health Program: Stable housing leads to better health outcomes, reducing disparities in our communities. We've improved housing for over 8,200 households, helping nearly 2,740 families with stabilization services. ·       Food Delivery Program: Our 4-year pilot ensures SNAP recipients in Kent and Wayne counties get nutritious food delivered right to their doorsteps. ·       Transportation:  Access to employment, housing, food, and health care rely on transportation availability. We're working across agencies to increase access to safe, reliable transportation, supporting better health outcomes. To learn more about the SDOH Strategy, visit Michigan.gov/SDOH.

Health in All Policies (HiAP) is about making sure every policy decision, whether it's about housing, transportation, or education, helps improve the health of Michigan communities. By considering health and health equity in all policy decisions, we can create a healthier, more equitable future for everyone. Learn how we’re integrating health into various aspects of policymaking to close disparity gaps and build stronger communities by visiting Michgan.gov/SDOH.
