The National Alliance to End Homelessnes’ (NAEH) Center for Capacity Building is hosting a HEARTH Academy to prepare communities to meet the ambitious performance expectations of the HEARTH Act, particularly the outcomes of reducing homelessness episodes and reducing new and return entries into homelessness.
The HEARTH Academy will feature a 1.5 day training that will be held in several locations in early 2011. The fee for the training will depend on the locations and venues, but is expected to be approximately $300 per participant.
The Academy also includes numerous webinars, tools, and printed and virtual resources that will be particularly helpful to training participants, but will be available to everyone free of charge.
If you are interested in participating in the HEARTH Academy Training, please send an email to Aisha Williams with your name and location. Also, if you are interested in hosting a training in your community, please indicate so. The Alliance will identify locations for the HEARTH Academy based partly on interest.
