Support for Every Stage of Care
Latinas Contra Cancer’s Patient Navigation & Advocacy Program is a culturally responsive service designed to support individuals facing significant barriers to accessing cancer care. Whether you're navigating a recent diagnosis, undergoing treatment, or managing survivorship, this program is here to ensure you never face the journey alone. Our program centers health justice and exists to make the healthcare system more accessible, equitable, and compassionate, especially for those too often left out.

Because Healing Shouldn’t Cost You a Home
Our Prescribed Housing pilot program helps cancer patients at risk of losing housing with direct financial assistance, case management, and advocacy—so you can focus on healing, not eviction notices. In one of the nation’s most expensive housing markets, we’re making sure no one has to choose between treatment and shelter.
