Housing and homelessness: Solutions at the intersection of public health and public safety

Presented jointly with the Initiative on Health and Homelessness
As the cost of living rises across the United States, a record number of people experienced homelessness in 2024* and shelter, housing, and support services are struggling to meet the need. Join leaders across public health and public safety for a conversation that moves beyond emergency response toward prevention, housing-first strategies, and long-term solutions. Grounded in lived experience and evidence, this panel explores cross-sector solutions with a focus on dignity, safety, and sustainable housing.
