Braiding and Layering Funding to Address the Social Determinants of Health
The social determinants of health (SDOH)—the social, economic, and built environments in which people live, learn, work, and play—have significant impacts on health outcomes. Despite their demonstrable impact, it remains challenging to sustainably fund initiatives that address SDOH—such as access to food, housing, and transportation. Braiding and layering funding, the practice of using multiple funding streams to support a common initiative, is one approach to address these complex issues. These white papers highlight case examples and provide best practices for sustainably funding initiatives focused on SDOH.
