The Opportunity Starts at Home (OSAH) campaign and Steering Committee members the National Women’s Law Center (NWLC) and the National Network to End Domestic Violence (NNEDV) invite advocates from across the nation to register for a webinar exploring the connections between gender justice and housing. The webinar will be held today, Tuesday, February 18 from 1:30-3 pm ET.
During the first half of the webinar, NWLC and NNEDV speakers will provide an overview of housing issues for women, LGBTQIA+ people, and survivors of domestic violence and housing insecurity’s ripple effects on other aspects of people’s lives including health care, childcare, and employment. One of NWLC’s Sparking Change storytellers will share her experience with housing insecurity, and OSAH campaign director Chantelle Wilkinson will discuss ways national and state/local organizations from across sectors can engage with the OSAH campaign to make housing affordable for people with the lowest incomes, adding to their overall quality of life through better health, greater educational attainment, and stronger earnings.
During the second half of the webinar, HIT Solutions will provide a briefing on a recent NWLC housing polling project about the critical importance of decent, safe, affordable housing free from discrimination for all. Register for the webinar here.
