The insurer is distributing the money to Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Ohio, Oklahoma and Texas through three syndicated funds, according to a Sept. 9 announcement

The funds will support affordable housing through low-income housing tax credits.

The move is part of the insurer’s Bold Goal initiative, which targets social determinants of health and health-related social needs. 

“Housing insecurity can disproportionally affect Medicaid-eligible patients and lead to inadequate health outcomes,” said John Barger, Humana Medicaid president. “To achieve their best health, people need access to stable, safe and affordable places to live. Humana’s national housing strategy is one way we are helping our communities address their housing needs.”

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
