Join us on September 10, 2014, for a webinar titled Family Connection: Tailored Interventions and Assistance. This is the second informational webinar in a series on building systems to end family homelessness. The webinar will feature best practices and lessons learned from two community partners, as well as policy insights from HUD and USICH.
Millions of extremely low-income households do not have access to affordable housing, which puts them at risk for housing instability and the types of crises that can result in homelessness. In 2013, 222,197 people in families—an estimated 70,960 households—were experiencing homelessness on a single night in January.
To end family homelessness, community systems must be in place to connect families to services and supports that are tailored to the unique needs of everyone in the household. This webinar is intended to provide communities and stakeholders with information on how to use a range of resources and program models—which includes rapid re-housing, permanent supportive housing, affordable housing and transitional housing—to better serve families.
