“Rapidly Re-housing Families Who Experience Homelessness”
Thursday, May 22 at 2:00 p.m. ET
Rapid re-housing programs minimize the time families experience homelessness by providing short- and long-term rental assistance, housing search and placement assistance and home-based case management. The focus is on help families return to housing and their communities more quickly, reducing the strain on the shelter system. The panelists will describe the transformation of homeless shelter programs to ones that help families move into housing quickly. They will discuss the skills and staffing that a program needs to acquire, funding challenges, as well the broader impact on communities that adopt a Housing First approach.
Panelists
Britt Shawver, Housing Opportunities for Women, Chicago, IL
Marge Wherely, Hennepin County, Minneapolis, MN
