It highlights the intersection of housing insecurity, mental health struggles, and the fear generated by immigration enforcement, particularly for undocumented populations. By addressing the harmful narratives that perpetuate stigmatization and marginalization, the speakers advocate for a compassionate approach to support these vulnerable communities.
