Overview
This webinar discusses a new study from CLPHA and PAHRC on the evolution of resident health initiatives and health-sector partnerships at public housing agencies (PHAs). Building on an earlier survey of the field of programs offered, we examine how resident health initiatives began at seventeen PHAs across the country and how they evolved over time, with a special focus on changes in organizational goals and structures. The webinar features a question and answer format with the study authors and then delves more deeply into a guided conversation with practitioners on how these PHAs have incorporated resident health outcomes into their agencies featuring staff from Bath Housing and Minneapolis Housing.
