New York Healthy Homes Collaborative

The New York Healthy Homes Collaborative is a cross-sector partnership of organizations that has launched a comprehensive asthma program to serve at least 850 children and adults enrolled in Medicaid with Affinity by Molina Healthcare in New York City.

Overview

Northern Trust and GHHI will provide $4.75 million in impact investment capital with the goal of making a lasting impact on families in under-resourced communities as well as on healthcare policy and practice. This funding will cover four years of services, at which point Affinity will transition to a self-funded model. Utilizing value-based payment (VBP) contracts, Affinity will use 100% of the savings resulting from the program to repay funders until the point the investment has been repaid with a modest return, projected to occur 7-9 years after launch. VBP allows Affinity to use Medicaid funds to cover home-based asthma services not traditionally reimbursed by Medicaid. In New York, payments directed toward social determinants of health via VBP. Core Partners include: Affinity by Molina Healthcare, AIRnyc, Association for Energy Affordability (AEA), Green & Healthy Homes Initiative (GHHI), Northern Trust, New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, and Primary Care Development Corporation (PCDC).
