To provide context, we begin by estimating the societal value lost to premature deaths from homelessness and food insecurity, using recent longitudinal methods that offer greater precision. We then apply the value tracing framework to 2 example interventions: permanent supportive housing for chronically homeless people and medically tailored meals for dual eligibles. These examples are supported by a narrative review of relevant literature, highlighting evidence from high-quality studies of SDOH projects that often show a broader range of benefits to multiple stakeholders. Prior research frequently overlooks non-healthcare savings, concluding that interventions \u201cdon\u2019t pay for themselves.\u201d In contrast, our findings show that when all beneficiaries are considered, many SDOH interventions yield a net positive value. Recognizing the public good nature of SDOH interventions is essential for reaching accurate policy conclusions. This paper advocates for greater recognition and estimation of the multiple sources of value in payment policies and investment decisions. Additional SDOH interventions and practical examples for local coalitions are provided in appendices.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/haschl\/qxae173","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,12,19]],"date-time":"2024-12-19T09:34:17Z","timestamp":1734600857000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Tracing value from social determinant solutions"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"3","author":[{"given":"Len M","family":"Nichols","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Health Policy Center, Urban Institute , 2201 General Taylor Street, New Orleans, LA 70115 ,","place":["United States"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7221-5068","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Timothy A","family":"Waidman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Health Policy Center, Urban Institute , 2201 General Taylor Street, New Orleans, LA 70115 ,","place":["United States"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8081-6952","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lisa","family":"Clemans-Cope","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Health Policy Center, Urban Institute , 2201 General Taylor Street, New Orleans, LA 70115 ,","place":["United States"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2143-963X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Bowen","family":"Garrett","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Health Policy Center, Urban Institute , 2201 General Taylor Street, New Orleans, LA 70115 ,","place":["United States"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kima","family":"Taylor","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Health Policy Center, Urban Institute , 2201 General Taylor Street, New Orleans, LA 70115 ,","place":["United States"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,12,19]]},"reference":[{"author":"Healthy People 2030","key":"2025011706012370500_qxae173-B1"},{"issue":"1","key":"2025011706012370500_qxae173-B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"11","DOI":"10.1159\/000510696","article-title":"Allostatic load and its impact on health: a systematic review","volume":"90","author":"Guidi","year":"2021","journal-title":"Psychother Psychosom."},{"issue":"4","key":"2025011706012370500_qxae173-B3","first-page":"1","article-title":"Healthcare's new emphasis on social determinants of health","volume":"4","author":"Berkowitz","year":"2023","journal-title":"NEJM Catal"},{"key":"2025011706012370500_qxae173-B4","article-title":"Improving health and well-being through community care hubs","volume":"29","author":"Chappel","year":"2022","journal-title":"Health Aff Forefront"},{"issue":"2","key":"2025011706012370500_qxae173-B5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"164","DOI":"10.1377\/hlthaff.2023.01049","article-title":"Homelessness and health: factors, evidence, innovations that work and policy recommendations.","volume":"43","author":"Garcia","year":"2024","journal-title":"Health Aff."},{"author":"USDA Economic Research Service","key":"2025011706012370500_qxae173-B6"},{"year":"2023","author":"Council of Economic Advisers","article-title":"Reducing the Economic Burden of Unmet Mental Health Needs.
