Resource Summary: This four-part learning collaborative explored the ways medical-legal partnerships can leverage the patient-centered legal services to implement clinic- and policy-level solutions to address the housing crisis as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Participants received information through a blend of brief didactic presentations followed by peer-to-peer learning. This learning collaborative is specifically for health centers and their legal partners, but individuals from other health systems that collaborate with health centers are welcome to attend.

Resource Details: In the final part of this Learning Collaborative series, we heard from Daphne McGee, JD, Staff Attorney at Houston’s Hope, about her work on the ground addressing eviction, utility cut-offs, and habitability.
