Find the Right Next Step

When housing, health, work, or other pressures tied to the social determinants of health start to overlap, it can be difficult to know where to begin. HUE helps you sort through the things impacting your daily life and connect with the support that fits.

A Pathway Built on the Social Determinants of Health

The social determinants of health (SDoH) are the conditions in your life that can affect health, stability, and overall well-being. Examples can include:

  • Housing stability
  • Healthcare access
  • Education
  • Employment and income
  • Transportation
  • Food access
  • Safety and environment
  • Social and community support

They account for up to 75% of health outcomes, outweighing genetics and medical care. In short, they can’t be ignored when it comes to creating tangible change, which is why they’re a foundational part of the framework HUE is built on.

When You’re Not Sure Where to Start

Sometimes the hardest part is not knowing which problem to deal with first.

Health, housing, education, work, and daily stability can all affect one another. As a team of family resource navigators here in Houston, HUE helps you sort through what is going on and find the support that makes the most sense.

From Pressure to Plan

HUE approaches Navigation through the understanding that the social determinants of health impact the risks and outcomes of all people.

As advocates for greater, well-rounded health and prosperity, we focus on helping you first identify the kind of support that fits what you’re dealing with before removing potential barriers and coordinating resources.

Start With What’s Impacting Daily Life

HUE first helps people identify the pressures getting in the way of happy, healthy living, whether that involves housing, healthcare, work, or something else.

Figure Out What Type of Support Fits

Once that is clear, HUE helps you determine which pathway may make the most sense for what you’re are dealing with.

Move Forward With Confidence and Clarity

Frequently Asked Questions

Someone from HUE will get in touch with you to get a clearer picture of what’s going on. We don’t just look at the immediate picture, but the larger context around what’s impacting your daily life. From there, HUE can help determine what kind of support fits best and what the next steps should be.
Someone will actually help you. HUE wasn’t built around handing people a list and sending them on their way. One of our Humanitarians will get involved and help you sort through what’s happening, so you can get a better understanding of your options and move through the next steps with greater confidence.
You can still reach out. Just because you’re told no in one place doesn’t mean there’s no path forward. Sometimes, it just means the support wasn’t the right fit or the system wasn’t built to look at the full picture.
