On January 26, 2023, eighteen professionals convened at a high-level strategic meeting to move the needle forward on health, healing, and affordable housing. The meeting was hosted by ULI Orange County/Inland Empire and moderated by Dora Barilla, DrPH, President and co-founder of HC2 Strategies. Susan Hori, District Chair, opened the meeting thanking the attendees for their participation, and Matt Romero provided background and explained the vision of the Building Healthy Places (“BHP”) committee. Each attendee introduced themselves and provided a brief context of their professional engagement relative to the topic. Dr. Barilla then framed the conversation with concepts of vital conditions, thriving together and, most importantly, a well[1]being economy. The 18 participants separated into three breakout groups to brainstorm the critical components of a healing center, methods of securing support, and funding and viability, using housing, health, and healing as the core priorities.
