The Affordable Care Act (ACA) creates opportunities for community groups and community-based organizations to engage hospitals and health systems in addressing the interconnected issues of housing, health, and community development. A hospital’s Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP) guides part of its community benefit activities, much like a bank’s Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) plan directs its community investments.

In this session, learn how the ACA establishes incentive structures for engagement nationwide; explore a collaborative model from Philadelphia; and hear about the CRA-funded Building Life Opportunities and Options for Mothers (BLOOM) initiative in Nashville, which empowers mothers through a social-enterprise approach that provides stable, affordable housing and creates pathways to family economic mobility.

Speakers

- Garrett O’Dwyer, MPH, Policy Director at the Philadelphia Association of CDCs;
- Rolanda Lister, MD, Founder and CEO of BLOOM (Building Life Opportunities and Options for Mothers), Associate Professor, Division of Maternal Fetal Medicine, Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology, Vanderbilt University Medical Center;
- Kay Bowers, Affordable Housing Consultant, Board of Commissioners, Metropolitan Development and Housing Agency;
- Greg Wilson, Senior Organizer, NCRC

Hope to see you there!
