Health-Related Social Needs (HRSN)

Being healthy requires more than regular check-ups with a doctor, having access to non-medical related necessities such as secure housing, healthy foods, and air conditioning, are equally just as important to maintain your health. Certain Oregon Health Plan (OHP) members may be eligible for extra non-medical services through a new program called health-related social needs (HRSN). This name refers to barriers to health such as housing or food insecurity that may affect our well-being.

What HRSN Services does Alliance provide?

Currently, HIV Alliance can assist our clients with HRSN Rental Tenancy Supports and Outreach to additional resources
