Upcoming Events on Advocacy Strategies

Medicaid’s Role in Preventing & Ending Homelessness

While it was never the pathway to ensuring health care as a human right unto itself, Medicaid inarguably saves lives. Millions would be homeless if not for the services Medicaid supports, and those who experience homelessness rely on it to survive. But the federal government has drastically threatened Medicaid’s power. Join this webinar for a timely discussion on how Medicaid prevents and helps to end homelessness, the status of federal funding for Medicaid, state-level opportunities for organizing, and what philanthropy can do to mitigate the harms of defunding this crucial component of the social safety net. Speakers include Michelle Schneidermann of the California Health Care Foundation and Bobby Watts of the National Health Care for the Homeless Council.

Health Care Policy in 2025: What Comes Next?

President Trump signed the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” into law on July 4, 2025, enacting historic cuts to Medicaid, the ACA marketplace, SNAP, and more – via work requirements, copays, and stricter eligibility verifications. According to analysis from the Congressional Budget Office, the new law will increase the number of people without health insurance in the United States by 11.8 million by 2034. Health policy experts warn that these changes will exacerbate health access issues, worsen health disparities, and threaten the financial viability of rural hospitals.

In this webinar, experts from Leavitt Partners will provide an overview of the recent legislation, the impact on health and health care, and what foundations can do to support communities and nonprofits in the next six months. Speakers include Laura Pence, Sara Singleton from Leavitt Partners, and Kristina Ramos Callan from Health Management Associates.
