Every year, tens of thousands of people in the city of Los Angeles are living in extreme slum housing, and it's making them sick. Unsatisfied with the traditional response to this public health crisis, three nonprofit organizations teamed up to break the cycle of illness and injustice and formed a coalition that has achieved unprecedented results in the fight for healthy homes and healthy kids.
Join us for a panel discussion with these pioneering nonprofit leaders and learn about how they've made kids healthier. They're taking a new approach to an old problem and working with unlikely partners toward a common goal.

Panelists
Gilda Haas, executive director, Strategic Actions for a Just Economy (SAJE)
Nancy Halpern Ibrahim, executive director, Esperanza Community Housing Corporation
Jim Mangia, president and CEO, St. John's Well Child and Family Center
Moderator
Patt Morrison, host, 89.3 KPCC and columnist, Los Angeles Times
