Its true that improved housing leads to improved health outcomes. But these health outcomes are related not only to the quality of the housing itself but also to the family traditions that occur within it, the Extended Family that modulates these family traditions, and the character of its community and surrounding neighborhood.

I would refer Dr. Williams and his SOCIALLY DETERMINED startup to THE CAPABILITY TRAP. See Erik Landry and John Sterman, from Harvard and MIT, paper below:

Hint: It describes a means to think about the ocean of our nation’s health and the futility occurring within the ship of its sinking healthcare industry. See pages 1-4 and 34-39.
