Public Hearing
Centering the Individual in Support with Dr. Eniya Lufumpa
Our conversation on Equity-based Housing Solutions continues with this week’s guest, Dr. Eniya Lufumpa who currently serves as the Department of Health and Human Services Director Strategist and team lead, and is currently the Director of Homeless Services. Dr Lufumpa and Josh shed light on the mindset that individuals should be at the center of all the work that the department does so that they can receive the support that they want and are ready for. Everyone has their own autonomy and we must respect this in order to create safe and equitable communities for all.
If you are in need of support, you can reach out to the Department of Health and Human Services Homeless services division at 508-7998- 486, extension number 31-331. You can also download their app, Stigma Free Worcester for information about services and resources available on Android or iOS
