Understanding Working Conditions of Domestic Workers in California

California Domestic Workers Coalition (CDWC) is a statewide alliance of community-based organizations, domestic employers, worker centers, labor unions, faith groups, students, and policy advocates. CDWC sought to build a strategy for advocacy and outreach by understanding working conditions of domestic workers in geographic context. PHS came alongside CDWC to untangle complex relationships among various datasets to paint a clear picture of working conditions for domestic workers in California.

Project Healing: A Social Determinants of Health Platform for Justice-Involved Persons

Valley Care Community Consortium, Tarzana Treatment Centers, and Center for Living and Learning sought to improve care coordination for their clients by using a social determinants of health (SDoH) platform to support referral and communication. While the initiative was community-led, the providers partnered with PHS, who served as a process facilitator. PHS in turn designed and facilitated a six-phase process for choosing and piloting a SDoH platform.

Los Angeles City and County Health Service Coordination for People Experiencing Homelessness

The magnitude of the housing crisis underscores the need for more efficient and equitable coordination of health services. In response to a Los Angeles City Council motion on this issue, PHS was commissioned by Home For Good of United Way of Greater Los Angeles and Los Angeles City Administrative Office to conduct a rapid-response landscape analysis.

Responding to Intimate Partner Violence and Homelessness During COVID-19

At the start of the pandemic, PHS formed partnerships with numerous community organizations to uplift voices of survivors to prevent violence and homelessness. In October 2020, we published a study with Hub for Urban Initiatives entitled “Responding to Intimate Partner Violence and Homelessness in Los Angeles County during a Time of COVID-19.” It was the product of an intensive four months of rapid-response research with the help of community partners TransLatin@ Coalition, Positive Results Center, and Downtown Women’s Center.

California Food Policy Advocates HEROES Act Analysis and Infographics

Congress had the opportunity to help families put food on the table and to infuse much-needed spending into the economy by raising the maximum benefit for SNAP during COVID-19. PHS and our partners at Nourish California (formerly California Food Policy Advocates) designed an analysis to help decision-makers understand the impact a 15% boost to SNAP (also known as CalFresh) would have on California by county and congressional district. PHS conducted the statistical analyses, and our talented designer Kathy Nardini created the infographic and social media cards.
