Stable + Affordable: Housing as a Foundation of Health – 2 Part Event

The Primary Care Coalition is exploring the health and housing relationship in two parts – from the existing interventions that mitigate health/housing problems to big ideas for integrative solutions. Two informative half-day sessions will explore the impact of stable and affordable housing on health outcomes.

Session One: September 17 
Peter Edelman will walk us through his new book Not a Crime to Be Poor, in which he examines the socio-political influences that have led to the criminalization of poverty.

Session Two: October 15
We’ll explore the role quality, affordable housing plays in the health of residents and look at ways to form strategic links between housing and health systems.

Identity’s Report on Early Care and Education Needs
Recently Identity, Inc. released a report, “EARLY CARE AND EDUCATION NEEDS ASSESSMENT-Among Latino Families in Montgomery County, Maryland.” In it Identity hoped through the assessment, they could better understand two issues:

  1. the reasons Latino parents do, or do not, enroll their children in formal early care programs;
  2. how Latino children who are not enrolled in formal care settings are being cared for.

The report contains survey findings of 130 local families and provided recommendations on them.
