abstract = "From April 2016 to June 2017, the Health + Housing Project employed four community health workers who engaged residents of two subsidized housing buildings in New York City to address individuals{\textquoteright} broadly defined health needs, including social and economic risk factors. Following the intervention, we observed significant improvements in residents{\textquoteright} food security, ability to pay rent, and connection to primary care. No immediate change was seen in acute health care use or more narrowly defined health outcomes.",

note = "Funding Information: The CHW intervention was funded by a foundation grant and support from community health improvement funds of a large academic health care system. Seeing value in the CHW intervention, the owners of the Section 8 intervention building decided to fund a continuation of the program and its expansion to two other buildings. They have partnered with Henry Street Settlement (the community-based organization partner for our intervention) to provide CHW services.
