Cancer survivors face many financial burdens that generate additional stress such as housing insecurity or homelessness. Because this leads to worse health outcomes, it is essential for health care and housing organizations to begin mobilizing resources to support this vulnerable population.
Create a "Housing in Cancer" workgroup to conduct systems-led analysis of housing insecurity in cancer survivorship in the Greater New Orleans area.
A cross-sector workgroup employed a systems analysis toolkit to explore the system. The group engaged in systems analysis exercises and generated observations on the current system.
The problem was discerned into three components. Through reflection, the group created a new focus to support housing policies in cancer survivors and one group member was awarded a grant to provide financial assistance to cancer survivors.
The workgroup's insights identified systemic policies and additional funding for sponsoring organizations who expressed authority over this issue.
癌症幸存者面临许多经济负担,这些负担会产生额外的压力,例如住房不安全或无家可归。由于这会导致更糟糕的健康结果,因此医疗保健和住房组织必须开始调动资源来支持这一弱势群体。
创建一个“癌症中的住房”工作组,对大新奥尔良地区癌症患者的住房不安全问题进行系统主导的分析。
跨部门工作组采用系统分析工具包来探索系统。该小组进行了系统分析练习,并对当前系统提出了观察意见。
问题被分为三个组成部分。通过反思,该小组为支持癌症幸存者的住房政策制定了新的重点,并且一名小组成员获得了一项资助,以向癌症幸存者提供经济援助。
工作组的见解确定了系统政策和额外资金,这些资金将提供给对这个问题拥有权威的主办组织。
