Why are so many health outcomes – like maternal morbidity and mortality – so much worse for people of color? Hint: It’s not genes. And it’s not culture. To eliminate racial health inequities, we need to understand where they come from, and what perpetuates them.

Learn with cultural anthropologist and professor of law at the University of California, Berkeley, Khiara M. Bridges, JD., PhD., about the roots of racial health inequities, the myths and misunderstandings that have obscured them, and how eyes-wide-open clarity can light up the way to ending them.

Veterans Affairs Servicing Purchase (VASP) program - to help more than 40,000 Veterans experiencing severe financial hardship avoid foreclosure and stay in their homes.

VASP is a new, last-resort tool in VA’s comprehensive suite of home retention options for eligible Veterans, active-duty Service members, and surviving spouses with VA-guaranteed home loans who are experiencing severe financial hardship.

Veterans will not apply directly for VASP. Instead, beginning May 31, mortgage servicers will identify qualified borrowers and submit requests on behalf of Veterans based on a review of all home retention options available and qualifying criteria. Veterans facing financial hardship should work with their mortgage servicers to explore available options.

Check out this article for more information.<https://news.va.gov/press-room/va-servicing-purchase-program-avoid-foreclosure/>

[cid:image019.png at 01DA6EEE.6DBBFFC0]<http://www.lanecountyor.gov/shelter>Lane County Shelter Finder website is now live

The Shelter Finder can be found via www.lanecountyor.gov/shelter<http://www.lanecountyor.gov/shelter> or www.lanecountyor.gov/housinghelp<http://www.lanecountyor.gov/housinghelp>.

This website is intended to help those in our community seeking shelter either for themselves, or for someone else, know what shelters have beds available on a given night and what criteria there are for accessing those shelters.

Those accessing the site can filter through the shelters based on unique needs and be pointed in the direction of those shelters that best meet those needs. Additionally, by clicking on the bed icons located on the embedded map, site visitors can see information about the shelters including pictures, intake information, what they can expect when accessing and other important details.
