MLP | Boston and Children's HealthWatch Present Their Newest Publication: Rx for Hunger

MLP I Boston is pleased to share our most recent report, Rx for Hunger: Affordable Housing, co-authored with our colleagues at Children’s HealthWatch. The report, which focuses on the impact of subsidized housing access on the health of very young children, reveals that subsidized housing plays a significant role in protecting young children from food insecurity and the health risks of being seriously underweight.  Specifically, housing subsidies allow families to allocate additional resources to child nutrition.

With supporting data, the report proposes several policy recommendations to address this serious problem.  To view the publication in its entirity, please click here.
