UHC Invited Speaker Series: Kathryn Leifheit

Wednesday, May 26, 2027

11:00 AM-12:00 PM

The Urban Health Collaborative (UHC)'s Invited Speaker Series welcomes Kathryn Leifheit, PhD, MSPH, an assistant professor at the UCLA Fielding School of Public Health and a social epidemiologist whose research examines how housing policies can improve population health and health equity.

Dr. Leifheit's work has helped establish residential eviction as a structural determinant of health and documented the health impacts of housing insecurity, eviction, and eviction-prevention policies.

She has studied policies including eviction moratoria, emergency rental assistance, and tenant right to counsel.

Her research has been published in leading medical and public health journals, supported by the NIH and Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, and featured by NPR, The Atlantic, Bloomberg, the Los Angeles Times, and other national media outlets.
