What Free Health Services Are Available?

Why Community Health Programs Matter for Low-Income Families
For affordable housing residents, knowing that they have access to health and wellness resources is a crucial first step in offering peace of mind for them and their families. Our nurse-supervised services help residents understand the benefits, find providers, and access preventive services before emergencies occur.
For example, when health screenings catch issues early, families can avoid emergency room visits. Nutrition education can teach healthy eating on budgets. Assistance in accessing certain treatment programs can help residents get the needed care they may not have known was available.
Integrated Wellness Services
Our health, wellness, and nutrition program recognizes health and wellness as foundational to economic independence and overall life success, and is a key part of the comprehensive resident program offerings of People First, which include job training, education, and family support programs.
