Join us for an engaging webinar exploring how Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) can maximize the impact of their Community Needs Assessment (CNA). FQHCs are required by HRSA to complete a CNA which defines their geography, its population, and the health needs therein. This webinar discusses how to go beyond meeting reporting requirements with the CNA in order to leverage public and FQHC-specific data to improve outcomes for patient populations. Methods discussed include mapping and GIS, as well as innovative utilization of uncommon data sources.

Supportive and affordable housing operators are struggling to find affordable property insurance coverage. Hear from experts about how risk mitigation, better data, and insurance captives can bring down costs. You will also hear from a state partner that is tackling this challenge to preserve vital supportive and affordable housing properties.

CSH is pleased to announce the following panelists will join CSH’s discussion on how supportive housing partners can respond to rising property insurance costs: 

• Flora Arabo, Senior Director of State and Local Policy at Enterprise Community Partners
• Brendan Dolan, Vice President at Housing Partnership Network and President of the Housing Partnership Insurance Exchange
• Becky Koepnick, Chief Strategy Officer for Portfolio Preservation and Senior Vice President at the Office of Housing Preservation, Office of Housing Preservation at New York State Homes and Community Renewal

In 2025, Casey Family Programs, CSH, and Chapin Hall collaborated to convene the Housing as a Foundational Element of Family Well-Being Cohort. This 6-month national learning collaborative was developed in response to growing evidence that housing instability and family homelessness are key drivers of child welfare system contact. Participants included cross-sector leadership from New Jersey, Colorado, Kentucky, and Oregon, who reported that the cohort helped them think more creatively about housing solutions and funding opportunities to better support child-welfare-involved families.

Register for this webinar to learn more about key takeaways, including current innovations, promising initiatives, and strategies to reframe housing needs for decision makers.

Join CSH health and Medicaid experts for another session on changes to Medicaid under H.R.1. In this webinar, we will discuss loss of healthcare coverage for legally present immigrant groups. New requirements under H.R.1 threaten continuous coverage for immigrants who rely on Medicaid for their healthcare and supportive services. This webinar explains immigration status as it relates to Medicaid. Immigration experts will join us to help us understand who remains eligible for Medicaid and provide strategies for protecting insurance coverage for them.

You will learn:

• How immigration status impacts Medicaid eligibility under H.R.1.
• Strategies for protecting healthcare coverage for immigrants still eligible for Medicaid.
• Timelines and what is known about how states are implementing these new requirements.

This webinar is part of the ongoing H.R.1 series, designed for housing providers, services providers, or advocates that are working to protect Medicaid coverage for their residents.

Join CSH health and Medicaid experts for another session on changes to Medicaid under H.R.1. These requirements threaten continuous coverage for people who rely on Medicaid for their healthcare and supportive services, especially people with disabilities.

This session focuses on protecting healthcare coverage by leveraging the SI/SSDI Outreach, Access, and Recovery (SOAR) program. We also offer strategies around the medically frail designation and using application assisters.

You will learn:

• How to use SOAR to help people keep their coverage. Eligible SOAR participants will not need to comply with many of the new H.R.1 requirements (more frequently eligibility checks & work requirements).
• How states can set up disability categories to exempt medically frail people from the new work requirements.  
• How states can leverage Medicaid application assisters to keep people enrolled. Application assisters can receive mail and notices on behalf of their clients.

This webinar is part of the H.R.1 webinar series, designed for housing providers, services providers, or advocates that are working to protect Medicaid coverage for their residents.
