The CCUSA Healthy Housing Initiative coordi­nates permanent housing placement, case manage­ment and social services of Catholic Charities with primary care and behavioral health of Catholic Health to reduce chronic homelessness.  

Catholic Charities of Eastern Washington (CCEW) operates affordable housing communities to ensure that every person has a supportive, inclusive, and sustainable home where they will thrive and live to their highest potential. 

CCEW affirms the right to housing and dignity of all people through developing and managing affordable, supportive housing communities and work to create sustainable communities through excellence in development, operations, and community partnerships.

CCUSA’s Healthy Housing Initiative (HHI) pilot program seeks to help people experiencing homelessness acquire stable housing, food security and behavioral health services while in transition. Providence’s Mission to care for the poor and vulnerable in communities it serves dates back more than 160 years. Today, among other programs, Providence offers wraparound health services to support individuals in recovery who are taking part in Catholic Charities HHI, an excellent example of partnering with local supportive ministries to serve people in need without duplicating scarce resources. The importance of listening to and incorporating the wisdom of communities served when working to improve social determinants of health was stressed.

CCUSA’s Healthy Housing Initiative pilot program seeks to help people experiencing homelessness acquire stable housing, food security and behavioral health services while in transition. The United States Interagency Council on Homelessness (USICH) is the only federal agency with the sole mission of preventing and ending homelessness. Made up of 19 federal agencies, USICH works across federal, state and local governments, as well as the private sector, to help communities create partnerships, use resources in the most efficient and effective ways, and employ evidence-based best practices to solve chronic homelessness.
