Symposium Presentation

Housing & Health: The Backbone of Strong Communities

RYAN MOSER Vice President, Strategy & Impact, CSH (Corporation for Supportive Housing) Ryan Moser, M Ed, Pennsylvania State University, is an innovator and futurist grounded by twenty years of experience in housing, justice, health and human services, education and international development. Currently the Vice President

for Strategy and Impact at CSH, Mr. Moser is responsible for CSH’s Data & Analytics, Strategic Alignment, and Impact Investment portfolios. Ryan’s presentation on housing and healthcare and how they are becoming increasingly entangled, shares examples of how supportive housing has developed cross-sector partnerships as a means to support people living in extreme poverty and engaged in crisis services to find stability in the community and generate positive health and financial returns. Ryan sees affordable housing as an underutilized resource for public health, public safety, and human service systems, which can be developed as backbone infrastructure for resilient and equitable communities. The presentation poses the question of what it will take for affordable housing to meet this challenge.
