However, the nationwide housing affordability crisis presents significant challenges for leveraging housing policy to improve population health in the United States. The US public housing program began during the New Deal, but has changed considerably since the mid\u201020\n                      <jats:sup>th<\/jats:sup>\n                      century. The program provides affordable and stable housing to nearly 1 million low\u2010income families, and may offer lessons for a way forward in improving health through better and more stable housing.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Comparing the health impacts of US housing programs, public housing stands out as an unexpected success. Children in public housing experience better mental health, fewer emergency room visits, and greater housing stability. Adults report better physical and mental health, reduced risk of diabetes, and improved food security. However, recent federal housing policy has emphasized the tenant\u2010centered housing voucher program at the expense of public housing.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Findings<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      While the contemporary public housing program improves health and well\u2010being across the life course, the early public housing program may offer lessons to improve outcomes in the 21\n                      <jats:sup>st<\/jats:sup>\n                      century. Specifically, a renewed public housing could focus on high\u2010quality construction, emphasize effective management, and serve a broader spectrum of income levels. I also outline how public housing could benefit from an increasing role for state policy and enable integration across levels of government.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Housing is particularly responsive to public housing, but current housing policies have proven insufficient to guarantee stable housing for all.
