Health & Housing

Social determinants of health, such as access to safe and affordable housing, socioeconomic status, employment, education, and social support networks, as well as access to and use of health care, play a major role in the health outcomes of Black men.

According to evidence-based research, health and housing are two deeply connected subject areas. The outcomes of one directly impact the other. CSSBMB is committed to ongoing reviews of these issues, advancing solutions that expand access to affordable housing while promoting holistic strategies to improve overall well-being.
