Abstract

In response to the growing regional (and national) focus on health and housing intersections, two public housing authorities (PHAs) in Washington-the King County Housing Authority and the Seattle Housing Authority-joined with Public Health-Seattle & King County to form the Housing and Health (H&H) partnership in 2016. H&H linked Medicaid health claims with PHA administrative data to create a sustainable public-facing dashboard that informs health and housing stakeholders such as an Accountable Community of Health (a governing body that oversees local Medicaid transformation projects), managed care organizations, and PHAs, allowing insights into the low-income communities they serve.
