Women experiencing homelessness have compounding health care needs that are largely unmet by existing health care systems.
The USC Suzanne Dworak-Peck School of Social Work partnered with the Downtown Women's Center, located in the Skid Row community of Los Angeles, to create the SCALE initiative (Spreading Community Accelerators through Learning and Evaluation), part of the 100 Million Healthier Lives Campaign supported by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
