This project explored how residents in Chelsea experience the intersection of health and housing challenges. Through seven interviews conducted in partnership with La Colaborativa, the study examined barriers such as long wait times, difficulties navigating health systems, and unstable housing. Themes highlighted the frustration and resilience of participants, the importance of physician trust and advocacy, and the role of La Colaborativa as a trusted community resource, providing valuable insights into the lived realities of Chelsea residents. Feel free to connect with me if we share an interest in this topic!
