KAISER PERMANENTE COMMITS TO $200 MILLION IMPACT INVESTMENT FOR HOUSING STABILITY
Good health and wellness are key factors towards quality of life, but what if your housing stability is “shaky” at best, or “almost gone” at worst? Physical and mental health can be low on the list of priorities, especially if you just are just trying to keep a roof over your head.
On May 18, 2018, Kaiser Permanente, the nation’s largest integrated health system, announced an impact investing commitment of up to $200 million through its Thriving Communities Fund to address housing stability and homelessness, among other community needs.
Prevention of homelessness amongst low & middle income households will be the main focus of these efforts. Anyone living in the Bay Area already knows, affordable housing has become difficult to find or maintain as the cost of living continues to soar. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s latest definition of the “low” income level stands at $117,400 per year for a household of four people in San Francisco, Marin and San Mateo counties. This is more than 10% up from last year!
Bernard J. Tyson, chairman and CEO of Kaiser Permanente states, “We hope our commitment creates a broader national conversation on homelessness, and encourages other companies to join with us to advance economic, social and environmental conditions for health.”
