To keep people healthy — beyond treating them when they're sick — we need to address the U.S. housing crisis. And increasing the number of affordable homes is crucial.
Good health starts with having a safe place to live. The communities we serve need more affordable housing, and we want to be part of the solution. Here are 3 ways that we’re helping build and preserve affordable housing: k-p.li/42fBZvn.
We recognize that safe, affordable housing is key to our health. Yesterday a new affordable housing unit broke ground in the @KPNorthwest community. The project, located on land we donated, is part of our commitment to improving community health.
This year we joined the groundbreaking for M Carter Commons, 62 units of affordable senior housing in North Portland, built on land donated by @KPNorthwest. Thanks to our partners from Northwest Housing Alternatives, @ULPDX , @PortlandGov and @PortlandMetro
Good health requires more than health care. That’s why we help connect our members to support services & work to improve the health of communities by partnering w/ local organizations on affordable housing, food access & other essential needs. Learn more: kp.org/communityhealth.
