Latinas Contra Cancer invites you to join us for Housing is Healthcare, a teach-in as part of Affordable Housing Month on Monday, May 13, from 10:00 AM to 11:30 AM at our office.
Housing is a health issue. Without stable and affordable housing, patients struggle to access care, manage chronic illnesses, and maintain their overall well-being. This teach-in will explore the intersection of housing and health, discuss how housing insecurity disproportionately affects communities of color and low-income families, and introduce Latinas Contra Cancer’s new pilot program, Prescription Housing, happening within the Santa Clara County Health and Hospital System.
We’ll discuss what becomes possible when housing is viewed as a critical part of a patient’s care plan and how this program could change the way we address health disparities in our community. Join us to learn, connect, and engage in this urgent conversation. Light refreshments will be served.
The Housing Needs of Undocumented Residents
JOIN US VIRTUALLY ON FRIDAY, JULY 25TH 12PM
Undocumented immigrants face unique and often invisible barriers to housing—exclusion from federal programs, fear of retaliation, and discriminatory screening practices.
Join us for a timely conversation on how we can break down these barriers and advance housing solutions that include everyone—regardless of immigration status.
We’ll explore:
– Why undocumented immigrants are excluded from key housing programs
– How fear and discrimination drive housing instability
– Local policies and community-based models creating real change
