Presentation by Sandra Comstock about the conditions that shape our endemic housing crisis and the social isolation that we bear witness to as a result. She describes Hygiene For All (H4A)’s participation in efforts to change the status quo, highlighting community survival stories. Understanding the distinctive experiences and needs of our most historically targeted residents is our best hope for achieving wellbeing.
Sandra is Executive Director of Hygiene For All (H4A). She has a Ph.D. in Development Sociology from Cornell University. She has worked in Nicaragua. She was a Fulbright Fellow in Bangladesh and an SSRC Fellow in Mexico.
