Keynote SpeakersWednesday, October 3

Housing as a VaccineDr. Megan Sandel, Boston University School of Medicine Sponsored by: CHASE Bank

Housing can act like a vaccine to provide multiple long-lasting benefits. In the medical realm, vaccines provide immunity from disease and can be targeted for specific groups. Vaccines produce a return on investment by preventing disease and providing benefits for families by allowing parents to work and earn income. Stable housing provides similar benefits and is linked to positive outcomes for children.
