Public Policy Plenary: Housing is Healthcare

Housing is healthcare – this has never been truer than in the wake of the devastation caused by COVID-19. Local communities have relied on the leadership of their state and federal partners to aid in the response to this pandemic. Beginning with a State of the State from Trey Price, hear from state and national leaders on how the response is going, what will be needed in the months to come, and the intersection of health and housing.
