Webinar: Latine Californians' Experiences of Homelessness
Overview
Join the UCSF Benioff Homelessness and Housing Initiative (BHHI) for a discussion of our new report, Toward Equity: Latine Experiences of Homelessness in California, the latest report from the California Statewide Study of People Experiencing Homelessness (CASPEH).
This webinar will highlight key data on how structural anti-Latine racism, housing exclusion, and administrative barriers shape pathways into homelessness, and explore what policy, service, and community leaders can do to close equity gaps.
Speakers:
• Margot Kushel, MD: Director, Benioff Homelessness and Housing Initiative
• Marc Dones (moderator): Policy Director, Benioff Homelessness and Housing Initiative
• Zena Coronado: Qualitative Research Project Manager, Benioff Homelessness and Housing Initiative
• Michelle Cox: Housing Technician, City of Roseville; Lived Expertise Board Member, Benioff Homelessness and Housing Initiative
• Melissa Chinchilla: Project Scientist, David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA
Note: We acknowledge that this is a difficult and uncertain time for many Latine community members due to recent events. Our thoughts are with those experiencing fear, disruption, or instability. The focus of our research and this webinar is homelessness. While we understand that immigration policy is deeply connected to the lives of many Latine community members, we are not able to engage in broader immigration debates during this webinar. We remain grounded in discussing the causes, consequences, and solutions to homelessness among Latine communities.
Registration is free and open to all.
