Your work saves lives and money. It's time to get paid for both.

Community-based housing providers generate enormous healthcare savings — but rarely see a dollar of it. FwdSlash partners with nonprofits to unlock sustainable Medicaid and hospital funding for the work you're already doing.

Health IT infrastructure

HIPAA-compliant EHR-HMIS integration without months of compliance work

Proof of impact

Real-time analytics that show payers exactly what your program is worth

Housing capital leverage

Use healthcare contracts to unlock affordable housing investments in your community

The system benefits from your work. It should fund it.

Housing-first programs have been proven to cut healthcare costs by thousands of dollars per person per year — reducing emergency visits, inpatient stays, and crisis interventions that burden state Medicaid budgets.

Yet most community organizations operate on precarious grant funding, disconnected from the healthcare system they're quietly supporting. FwdSlash exists to close that gap.

OUR SERVICES

A three-stage path from housing program to healthcare partner

We meet your organization where it is and build toward sustainable healthcare contracts — with the tech, strategy, and relationships to make it real.

Stage 1 - MarketPrep

Turn your program into a healthcare service

Understand the opportunity. Build the business case.

  • Healthcare landscape scan — what payers need, upcoming RFPs, quality gaps in your market

  • Housing-health alignment map — available subsidies, local provider network, data readiness

  • Financial proof model — cost-savings analysis showing ROI to healthcare stakeholders

  • Contract path — negotiation strategy for Medicaid or hospital partnerships

Stage 2- MarketReady

Get compliant. Get connected. Start billing.

  • Unified EHR-HMIS data management — one platform for health records and housing data

  • Medicaid billing capability — start generating revenue from services you already deliver

  • HIPAA/HUD-compliant workflows — built in, not bolted on

  • 90-day go-live support — we don't just hand you software, we implement alongside you

Stage 3- MarketGO

Demonstrate ROI. Renew and grow contracts.

  • Integrated health + housing dashboard — real-time visibility into outcomes and service gaps

  • Retrospective cost-savings attribution — show payers exactly what each client saves

  • Predictive client risk identification — intervene before crises, not after

  • Automated outcome reporting — respond to payer inquiries in minutes, not weeks

Common barriers — and how we remove them

What organizations face today

  • Housing programs can't measure or communicate the healthcare value they create

  • Payers don't know how to contract with housing service providers

  • Health records are fragmented across multiple disconnected systems

  • No capacity to bill Medicaid for services already being delivered

  • Program funding is precarious and unsustainable year to year

  • Service gaps stay hidden until they become crises

What FwdSlash makes possible

  • Rigorous financial modeling and cost-savings attribution, built for payer audiences

  • Navigation of the Medicaid contracting landscape — with warm introductions and negotiation support

  • Unified EHR-HMIS platform (Braided) that consolidates data across providers

  • Medicaid billing infrastructure deployed within 90 days

  • Healthcare contracts worth $400–600 PMPM that replace grant dependency

  • Predictive analytics that surface emerging risks before they escalate

Built-for-purpose tools, not retrofitted software

We don't hand you a generic platform and walk away. Our tech is purpose-built for health-housing integration — and we implement it with you.

Braided — Unified Medical/Social Care Platform
