Mid-Atlantic Region's Learning Community Call - February 24
Good afternoon,
CoC leaders in
the Mid-Atlantic Region (MAR) are invited to participate in February's MAR
Learning Community Call focused on the nuts and bolts of ending veterans
homelessness in your communities. The call is specifically targeted for
communities who may not already be receiving technical assistance on ending veterans
homelessness, though all are welcome to attend and participate!
Please register
for Mid-Atlantic Regional CoC Learning Community: Ending Veterans Homelessness
in Your CoC held on:
Feb 24, 2016
10:00 am EDT at
We've collectively learned a lot in what works in ending veterans homelessness, so we'll use this call to: 1) Provide a brief, high-level overview of the key components, 2) Interview two communities in the Mid-Atlantic Region who have successfully met the goals of ending veterans homelessness as set out by USICH, and 3) Offer ample time for open discussion and questions.
We hope you can
join us! After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing
information about joining the webinar. The call will be recorded.
The bi-monthly
calls are organized by the Mid-Atlantic Region's Technical Assistance (TA)
team.
· Mayors Challenge Desk Book (HUD). A large
compilation of guidance, resources and tools issued through the Mayors
Challenge effort.
· Vets@Home Toolkit: Identifying and Engaging Homeless Veterans (HUD). HUD
designed this toolkit for CoC stakeholders, practitioners and public officials
to improve practices around identifying and engaging all veterans experiencing
homelessness. Effective strategies used by communities that have been
successful in decreasing veteran homelessness are detailed in this toolkit, and
most can be easily adapted to fit any community situation.
· Criteria and Benchmarks for Achieving the Goal of Ending Veteran
Homelessness (USICH). The United States Interagency Council on
Homelessness, the Department of Housing and Urban Development, and the
Department of Veterans Affairs have adopted a vision of what it means to end
all homelessness and specific criteria and benchmarks for ending Veteran
homelessness in order to help guide communities as they take action to achieve
the goal.
· HUD Landlord and Recruitment Desk Book (HUD). This
document can assist you in reaching out to and cultivating relationships with
landlords.
