Building Changes Guest Speakers: Kalyn Yasutake, MPH, Director of Research and Evaluation and Megan Veith, JD, Director of Policy and Advocacy

Building Changes' mission is to advance equitable responses to homelessness in Washington State with a focus on children, youth, and families and the systems that serve them. Kalyn and Megan will be discussing the work Building Changes has done on integrating Diversion housing services into Maternity Support Services (MSS) and Infant Case Management (ICM). This model strives to bring housing services to those who are pregnant or post-partum where they are already receiving their health services. By creating better access and having more pregnant and post-partum people and families stably housed, we can expect better outcomes for the client and family overall.
