Public Hearing
Continuing efforts toward equitable housing in Worcester
We are back with the final episode of our series focusing on equity-based housing solutions in Worcester! Even though we are wrapping up our housing series for now, we always come back to these issues as they intersect with so many other challenges facing our community. For our guest this week, we are back with Dr. Mattie Castiel, Commissioner of the Department of Health and Human Services for the City of Worcester, to talk about housing issues from a medical and health perspective as well as how we can work together to strengthen further efforts towards creating equitable housing and decreasing negative stigma in our community.
Check out our last Public Hearing episode with Dr. Castiel, “Are people going to keep doing the work that needs to be done after everyone’s vaccinated?”
Stay up to date with the Worcester Department of Health and Human Services on their website and Facebook page.
