Health & Housing Coalition

The Wellbeing Partners is the project manager for this coalition, which seeks to address the medical and care coordination needs of those experiencing homelessness by convening advocates and experts for shared learning and ensuring a medical respite program pilots in the Greater Omaha area.

In 2021, the coalition helped secure funding from CommonSpirit Health’s Mission and Ministry Fund to launch a medical respite pilot in the community. Siena Francis House was selected to be the lead agency to implement this service and the doors opened in August 2022.
