Better Health Through Housing
Housing and having a place to sleep plays a vital role in a person’s healthcare. Spokane has made strides towards addressing homelessness, but key challenges remain, especially for individuals who experience chronic homelessness. The BHH program will enroll 50 individuals during the pilot period and lay the groundwork for a sustainably funded solution to benefit chronically homeless individuals with multiple, complex health conditions for years to come.
BHT’s proposed model is built from a foundation of authentic partners who are committed to collaborate, innovate, and keep each participant at the center of our work. Our aim is to use the pilot period to demonstrate cost savings and opportunities for reinvestment to create a long-term sustainable solution to a longstanding problem.
