The workshop featured two case examples of sustainable financing models from non-health sectors. Clean energy financing and justice reinvestment both offer lessons and insights that may inform gathering the resources needed to support population health improvement through realignment or reallocation. In the case of justice reinvestment particularly in the juvenile justice context, resources are shifted to support primary prevention strategies that ultimately lower the costs of responding to urgent social problems and help improve people's lives. In the case of clean energy financing, investing optimally can help stakeholders achieve co-benefits that include improved health, fiscal savings, and environmental benefits.

Description
An ad hoc committee will plan and convene a one-day public workshop that will explore the need for, availability of, and potential of modified financing structures that reflect a recognition of health and non-health factors (educational, economic, social, and environmental) that shape the wellbeing of U.S. communities. The workshop may include presentations on and discussion of: the historical patterns of resource investment or allocation in both the public and private sector; the evidence to date from pilots, prototypes, and research across the country; and the conditions (e.g., collaboration, leadership, metrics) needed to ensure the success of modified financing structures designed to advance population health and health equity. A summary of the presentations and discussion at the workshop will be prepared by a designated rapporteur in accordance with institutional guidelines.
