People experiencing homelessness in California face high rates of chronic illness and disability as well as numerous barriers to care. These health challenges make it harder for people to obtain and retain housing, and homelessness worsens health, trapping people in a vicious cycle. As the homeless population ages, these burdens deepen, with profound implications for individuals, communities, and the systems that serve them.
This webinar highlighted findings from the UCSF Benioff Homelessness and Housing Initiative report Toward Thriving: Understanding Health & Homelessness, with insights from the report’s lead author and experts from across the health and homelessness systems.
Panelists included:
- Margot Kushel, MD: Director, Benioff Homelessness and Housing Initiative
- Robynne Rose-Haymer, MEd: Vice President, Capitol Impact; BHHI Lived Expertise Advisory Board Representative
- Michelle Schneidermann, MD: Director, Advancing People-Centered Care, California Health Care Foundation
- Corrin Buchanan, MPP: Undersecretary, California Health and Human Services Agency
