Opportunity Starts at Home (OSAH) roundtable member American Academy of Pediatrics released a two-part webinar series on housing and health in collaboration with the Children’s Hospital Association. The series, “Housing for Health – Engaging the Pediatric Community,” explores how pediatric practices and children’s hospitals can draw on the connections between healthy housing and improved health to support children and their families. The first webinar explores the relationships between housing security and health outcomes, including the health risks of homelessness. The second webinar features two practitioners from state cross-sector programs who share lessons learned and recommended strategies for creating similar programs. Both webinars and their presentation materials are available to view on Children’s Hospital Association’s website.
