Common Ground's vision of supportive housing, as exemplified by The Prince George, is comprehensive, cost-effective, aesthetically pleasing and community-minded. Along with its other programmes throughout New York City and in Connecticut, The Prince George is helping Common Ground (CG) solve homelessness. CG believes that transitioning out of homelessness requires more than a home, more than good health, more than a job and more than a supportive community - the entire package is necessary. And that's exactly what The Prince George provides: a comprehensive support system designed to help people regain lives of stability and independence.

The Urban Research Center (URC) in Harlem, New York City, is a collaboration of community members, service providers, and academics. A Community Advisory Board (CAB) meets regularly to formulate priorities for action and to direct research. A conceptual model of social determinants of health relevant to the Harlem community was developed. Early meetings of the CAB identified substance use as a health concern in the Harlem community. Access to social services was identified as a key social determinant that should guide research and intervention efforts of the URC. Surveys of service providers and of substance users were carried out to quantify availability of information and barriers to access. This article discusses the CAB process that led to the model of social determinants, development of surveys, and interpretation of results. The authors also discuss survey results and how the URC will use these results to develop interventions.
