Join us for a discussion with Dr. Bob Fullilove, Marjorie Momplaisir-Ellis, Adolfo Abreu, and Wendi Shafran on how permanent housing can shape healthier communities.
From redlining to mass incarceration, racist government policies have had long-term consequences on community health and well-being. Designers, decision-makers, and advocates should begin to consider how permanent housing can combat health inequalities like HIV, diabetes, or intergenerational trauma.
Dr. Bob Fullilove will describe the legacy of urban renewal and mass incarceration on community health in historically underinvested neighborhoods, followed by Marjorie Momplaisir-Ellis, Adolfo Abreu, and Wendi Shafran as our respondents.
How can New York City combat mental and physical health disparities by ending homelessness?
