“Housing is absolutely essential to human flourishing. Without stable shelter, it all falls apart.” 
—Matthew Desmond 
 
Grantmakers In Health in partnership with Funders for Maternal Mental Health and Funders Together to End Homelessness will host a webinar on the impact of homelessness, evictions, and housing insecurity on maternal mental health. This webinar will explore the intersectional nature of housing instability and maternal mental health, delving into the complexities of these issues through the insights of leading voices working to address family well-being.
 
In this session you will learn about cutting-edge research underway to understand the impacts of housing instability on maternal mental health.  You will hear from on-the-ground programs working in communities with pregnant women and parents to provide housing supports, like rental assistance, temporary shelter, and permanent supportive housing as a preventive measure to promote maternal well-being and economic mobility. And you will come away with policy solutions and systems change ideas that promote housing, reproductive care, and health care justice from a national policy and advocacy organization that sits at the intersection of these issues. These presentations will provide funders with recommendations and insights on how they can connect the dots between housing stability and well-being for birthing people.
