Innovative Solutions for Medicaid Housing Stability Webinar
Housing instability remains one of the biggest challenges for safe care transitions, recovery, and long-term health, especially for Medicaid members of all ages.
KFMC, the Kansas Health Opportunities Coalition, Healthy Blue, and Upside recently hosted a webinar exploring how healthcare and housing partners can work together to improve outcomes for Medicaid members.
During the session, presenters Eliza Sydney (Upside) and Beth Russel (Healthy Blue) discussed Healthy Blue’s partnership with Upside, a national housing-stability platform that helps connect members with safe, appropriate housing and community support. They also shared real-world examples demonstrating how this model supports healthier, more stable communities.
Topics covered included:
- How the Upside housing-stability model operates
- Which populations benefit most, including older adults and individuals with disabilities
- The role of healthcare and community organizations in supporting housing stability
- Real examples of improved outcomes through cross-sector collaboration
