Subsidized Housing and Health: An Exploratory Study Examining Resident Perspectives on Community Health and Access to Care.

Adequate, safe, and affordable housing is an important determinant of health, yet studies on subsidized housing and health are limited in number and scope. This exploratory survey assessed the health conditions, needs, accessibility of services, and health issues perceived as most important by federally-subsidized affordable housing participants in Virginia. Results for residents of public housing complexes, tenants with housing vouchers, and a nationally representative sample are compared.
