Racialized Health Working Group- Supported by the Public Health Agency of Canada<\/p><p align=\"left\">Committed to advancing structural change and promoting culturally grounded models of care, the Racialized Health Working Group brought together diverse partners to address health inequities affecting South Asian, Black-African-Caribbean, Latine\/Hispanic, MENA, and East Asian populations. These communities often confront similar challenges in the healthcare system\u2014including language obstacles, financial pressures, and longstanding mistrust\u2014prompting the group to unite and identify both targeted and cross-cutting policy solutions.<\/p><p align=\"left\">Beginning in September 2024, HDC carried out surveys, interviews, and focus groups with Latine-Hispanic participants throughout Toronto and the GTA. This work revealed significant concerns within the community, such as discrimination linked to racial and immigration status, limited knowledge of mental and physical health resources, and reduced civic participation in health-related processes.<\/p><p align=\"left\">Across all components of the study, one conclusion consistently emerged: community-driven strategies are essential to dismantling barriers to care in racialized groups. Meaningful involvement from community leaders, grassroots networks, faith organizations, and local advocacy groups is crucial for building more accessible and responsive healthcare systems.<\/p><ul><li><u>Read the full report in English:<\/u>\u00a0\u00a0<b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hispanic-council.ca\/research-docs\/Bridging-Health-Divides-eng.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bridging Health Gaps: <i>A collaborative study on addressing healthcare disparities in racialized communitie<\/i><\/a><\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hispanic-council.ca\/research-docs\/Bridging-Health-Divides-eng.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">s<\/a><\/li><li><u>Read the full report In Spanish:<\/u>\u00a0\u00a0<b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hispanic-council.ca\/research-docs\/Rompiendo-Barreras-esp.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Rompiendo Barreras:<i>\u00a0Un estudio colaborativo para abordar las disparidades en la atenci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica en la comunidad Latina<\/i><\/a><\/b><\/li><li><u>Know more about the RHWG initiative at CASSA site: <\/u><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cassa.ca\/racialized-health-working-group-initiative\/\"><span style=\"color: #1155cc;\"><u>https:\/\/www.cassa.ca\/racialized-health-working-group-initiative\/<\/u><\/span><\/a>\u00a0<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-3249ced elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-height-min-height elementor-section-items-stretch elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"3249ced\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-572f7fd\" data-id=\"572f7fd\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-24f003f elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"24f003f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><p align=\"left\" style=\"line-height: 108%;margin-bottom: 0.11in\">\n<b>Partnership Overview<\/b><span style=\"text-align: center\"><\/span><\/p><\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-461f689 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"461f689\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"328\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hispanic-council.ca\/tc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/donde-vivimos-500wide.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-2606\" alt=\"Donde Vivimos\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hispanic-council.ca\/tc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/donde-vivimos-500wide.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.hispanic-council.ca\/tc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/donde-vivimos-500wide-300x197.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9978c5a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9978c5a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<\/p><p><b>Overview<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <\/span><b><i>Donde Vivimos<\/i> (Where We Live)<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> project reflects a deepening partnership between the University of Toronto and the Hispanic Development Council (HDC), a community-led organization advancing the rights and well-being of Spanish-speaking communities in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). Drawing on HDC\u2019s long-standing leadership and connections with other Latine-serving organizations, the project responds to the urgent and under-researched issue of housing (in)stability among Latine newcomers. The study was co-developed through weekly meetings between HDC and university partners to center lived experience, with a research team largely composed of Latine newcomers or Latine Canadians across diverse career stages and with diverse lived experiences. This collaboration enhances academic and community capacity for equity-focused research, demonstrating how universities and grassroots organizations can co-lead justice-driven, culturally grounded work.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you have any questions about this project, contact:&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">David Sanchez Villa:&nbsp;<\/span><a href=\"mailto:davidsanchezvilla.hdc@gmail.com\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"letter-spacing: 0px; background-color: rgb(251, 251, 251);\">davidsanchezvilla.hdc@gmail.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hispanic Development Council \/ Consejo de Desarrollo Hispano Hispanic Development Council Research and Knowledge Building Bridging Health Gaps: A collaborative study on addressing healthcare disparities in racialized communities A project of the Racialized Health Working Group- Supported by the Public Health Agency of Canada Committed to advancing structural change and promoting culturally grounded models of [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-2351","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hispanic-council.ca\/tc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2351","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hispanic-council.ca\/tc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hispanic-council.ca\/tc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hispanic-council.ca\/tc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hispanic-council.ca\/tc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2351"}],"version-history":[{"count":108,"href":"https:\/\/www.hispanic-council.ca\/tc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2351\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2665,"href":"https:\/\/www.hispanic-council.ca\/tc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2351\/revisions\/2665"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hispanic-council.ca\/tc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2351"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
