Two years ago we embarked on a journey to ensure that any birthing person in any of our housing programs would get special support to improve birth outcomes even under stressful circumstances. Building this collaboration was harder than we expected and provides insights into what we can do to work better together. This session will include the perspectives of our perinatal care coordinator, housing case manager, and a program participant. Theme(s): Social Determinants of Health
