NLIHC’s final 2024 “Tenant Talk Live” – a meeting geared towards tenant and resident leaders – will take place today, December 18, at 6 pm ET. Amid holiday festivities, it is crucial to acknowledge the challenges faced by those struggling to secure basic necessities, including housing. Today’s session will explore the links between health and housing and shed light on the serious health risks associated with housing instability and homelessness. Attendees will also learn about solutions for alleviating the financial burdens on low-income and health-impacted communities. Register for the meeting here.
Joining today’s meeting are Charlotte Bruce of Children’s HealthWatch and Shannon Nazworth of Ability Housing. Bruce is a senior research and policy analyst at Children’s HealthWatch, where she is responsible for supporting and carrying out research and policy work with the Center Team, with a particular focus on state and federal policies. In close coordination with the director of innovative partnerships, she participates in the ongoing management, strategy, and growth of the Hunger Vital Sign™ National Community of Practice, as well as other national and state coalitions, including by co-leading the Research Task Force of the Food Is Medicine Massachusetts Coalition.
Shannon Nazworth is president and CEO of Ability Housing, a position she has held since 2003. Ability Housing is dedicated to building strong communities where everyone has a home. The organization is inspired by a vision of a society where housing is a right, not a privilege, and all individuals have safe, affordable housing in vibrant communities.
