The health outcomes of low-income households in Southeast Central Durham are impacted in numerous ways by their neighborhood and built environment. At the core of these issues, we find that the cost burden of housing plays a major role on health outcomes. We have created a policy and program that will allow our target population to gain affordable housing while also increasing access to healthy food. Using analysis of our target population along with analysis of our stakeholders, we created a policy and program along with an engagement and accountability plan. Intertwining housing and access to healthy food has given us a foundation for addressing a cumulative burden. Implementing affordable loans with minority owned brokers as well as providing education lends to the sustainability of the program; along the same lines, working with local farmers to implement community-supported agriculture subsidies has a win-win impact.Master of Public Healt
