Attend this webinar for a "Research Release and Strategy Session on the Health Movement for Rent Control"
🗓 December 15, 2025
🕰 10am PT/12pm CT/1pm EST.
Half of all U.S. renter households pay unaffordable rents, driving a surge of state and local campaigns for rent control. These campaigns have the potential to reverse health and housing injustices, capture the imagination, and build momentum to counter democratic backsliding.
But housing movements face strong opposition from corporate landlords and the politicians they fund, and will be much stronger with the credibility, data, and trusted relationships of the public health field.
Join in for the exclusive release of "The Health Benefits of Rent Control," a new paper co-authored and supported by leading public health organizations.* Hear from public health leaders, advocates, and organizers about how public health organizations are joining the movement for rent control, and join a strategy conversation about how you can plug in.
Speakers:
Jasmine Rangel, PolicyLink
Rya Griffis, American Public Health Association
Carolyn Chou, Homes for All Massachusetts
Will Dominie, Health in Partnership
*The Health Benefits of Rent Control was co-authored by Health in Partnership, the National Association of Community Health Workers, Prevention Institute, and the Network for Public Health Law, in partnership with the American Public Health Association, Berkeley Media Studies Group, and Changelab Solutions
