CVS Health said its goal is to put an emphasis on increasing access to affordable housing, “which is inextricably linked to health.”

“When people have access to high-quality, affordable housing, it puts them in a better position to improve their overall well-being, including taking care of their health or managing a chronic disease,” said David Casey, CVS Health’s chief diversity officer. 

The investment will also bring health and wellness programming to the community, including on-site health screenings, COVID-19 testing and maternal health programs.
