Please join us on November 17 at 2pm for the next MIHE Health Equity seminar, featuring Dr. Pat O’Campo. Affordable and stable housing are being described as being in crisis across many North American cities. This is particularly true for women. This seminar will explore why women are at greater risk for housing precarity and how can we design effective solutions to provide the right supports.
