It was an honor to co-facilitate this session with Tia Cintron HMA's Managing Director for Housing Supports and Services. It was a great discussion. Here are a few snippets of actions you can take to advance healthcare and housing: 1) develop shared language; 2) build trust among partners; 3) understand housing is healthcare; 4) employ people who have lived experience/were previously unhoused; 5) Contact Enterprise Community Partners or contact Tia Cintron to advance housing in your community. 6) "think about the most you can do; think about the least you can do; go do something!"

PD&R’s “Cityscape” is a peer-reviewed journal featuring original #research on #housing and community development issues. The newest issue highlights innovative approaches to using administrative data in local housing policy and program design. These articles trace the causes and consequences of actions by individuals — including property owners and residents — on disinvestment in certain communities, the disappearance of housing units of a certain size, and other changes in housing stock availability. It also sheds new light on how housing, health, education, safety, and natural disasters are interrelated. Read the latest “Cityscape” on #HUDUser: https://lnkd.in/e-ysA3Q

#SocialImpactHousing is more than just shelter; it's the key to stability for low-income families. With stable housing, they gain access to essentials like food security, safety, and clean clothes—things many take for granted. This stability enables families to focus on education, employment, and building a better future. Investing in social impact housing means making a real difference, ensuring every family has a chance to thrive, not just survive.

This year marks the 50th anniversary of the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program, which has supported community development initiatives such as economic projects, housing rehabilitation, and the enhancement of community centers. Macomb County Government has been a participant since the program’s inception, receiving approximately $1.8 million annually over the past five years. These grants are targeted to communities with populations under 50,000, allowing for improvements in local amenities like parks, sidewalks, and street lighting. Recent projects in Macomb County funded by the CDBG program include the renovation of Roxana Park in Eastpointe (pictured), upgrades to the Macomb Township Senior Center, and a solar street lighting initiative. Looking ahead, the county plans to pursue additional projects, including street repaving, sidewalk improvements, and more solar street lighting installations, pending continued funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
