title: Social determinants of health in public health practice: case study of rent stipends to augment tuberculosis cluster management.
abstract: Precariously housed patients with tuberculosis (TB) may transmit TB while moving between various relatives’ or friends’ homes. Here, we describe the experience of the City of Milwaukee Health Department with leveraging funding not traditionally used for housing to help contain a TB cluster embedded in an environment of housing instability.
