Easement is an consulting + search firm focused specifically at the intersection of housing and health
Purpose
There is a small, rapidly growing appreciation for the connection between health + housing. Experts at this intersection are crucial to improving the health of all Americans.
Our day to day work focuses on two areas. We attract top talent with the best skillsets to work in health + housing companies. We also work on business development, improving market knowledge, and guiding new entrepreneurs.
The long-term vision of Easement is to attract the best talent from health and real estate to create a culture that prevents poor health outcomes by intervening through housing and the built environment. This includes more walkable communities, closer connections with neighbors, and housing that encourages healthier lifestyles.

About
Can you improve someone’s health if you don’t improve where or how they live on a day to day basis?
Today real estate and healthcare are too far apart to effectively coordinate and act on projects that will improve people’s health.
For now, projects closer to healthcare are a good starting point. Housing + wraparound services for homeless populations are important. Grab bar installations to reduce falls for the elderly are gaining traction. Asthma remediation for low income families will reduce asthma attacks for low-income populations. All this work begins to bridge the divide between real estate and healthcare.
Easement analyzes different sources of affordable housing funding such as grants and investors, identifies the best health and real estate partners for service coordination, and finds your organization the best executive team for impactful work at the intersection of health + housing. While our work is in a new and developing space (forgive the pun), our projects are linked by a focus on people, process, and services that enhance health through housing and the built environment.
