The Housing Plus Services Learning Collaborative Explores Partnerships

The Housing Plus Services Learning Collaborative met recently for two days in San Francisco.

LeadingAge, Enterprise Community Partners, and Stewards of Affordable Housing for the Future are piloting the Learning Collaborative consisting of 12 teams representing providers of affordable senior housing and their community partners. Those teams have been working together since January 2013 to support housing providers as they develop strategies to coordinate and deliver health and supportive services to their residents.

The Collaborative’s January meeting focused primarily on ways to create partnerships between housing and health care providers. The Learning Collaborative will work to describe the benefits that housing properties can offer to managed care organizations, accountable care organizations and federally qualified health centers, especially in light of the Affordable Care Act (ACA).
