Seminar: Housing, Homelessness, and Health: What do we Know About Housing and Health and What is Being Done?

Please join us for a seminar focused on the current status of housing, homelessness and health in Massachusetts.  Speakers will discuss how these issues are connected, what is being done, models of community development, and pending legislation that could address some of the issues, as well as community perspectives.
