The Corporation for Supportive Housing (CSH) is pleased to present our next Hot Topics in Supportive Housing Audio-Conference, introducing a new resource for the industry - our web-based Toolkit for Connecting Supportive Housing Tenants to Employment, now available at CSH’s web site by clicking here. This Toolkit, made possible through the generous support of the MetLife Foundation, is designed to provide access to a wide variety of resources to help supportive housing organizations, workforce partners, and employers address key challenges in the planning, implementation, and on-going provision of employment-related services and programs. The Toolkit currently links to more than 100 resources, many of which were developed by CSH over its 17 years of experience documenting partnerships, practices, and innovations within the supportive housing field. Materials were also drawn from a variety of sources, including the Chronic Homelessness Employment Technical Assistance Center (CHETA), the disability community, federal technical assistance centers, workforce consultants, supportive housing agencies, and other organizations.
