2021 Annual Conference Quick Take: Debt as a Social Determinant of Health

Our financial security is a social determinant of health, and debt stymies that security for individuals, communities, and the economy. In this Quick Take, the Asset Funders Network will explore the burden of unmanageable debt arising from longstanding systemic inequities that degrades health and wealth for people of color. The session will also share research, strategies, and recommendations for philanthropy to provide financial relief, and in turn, improve prosperity and well-being among Black and Latinx households.

This session was designed by Asset Funders Network and supported by Missouri Foundation for Health.
