Expanding Access to Housing - Innovations in the Field
SAMHSA's Homeless and Housing Resource Network
Monday, May 22, 2017; 2:30-4:00 p.m. ET
Finding housing for people experiencing homelessness can be especially challenging in rural and frontier communities. Typically, home ownership rates are high, and apartments or other rentals are few. Too often, the housing that is available is substandard. Join SAMHSA's Homeless and Housing Resource Network (HHRN) to learn how rural Tennessee, Kentucky, and Vermont are creatively meeting their housing needs.
During this presentation, you'll discover
- ideas for meeting local housing needs of people experiencing homelessness in rural areas,
- strategies for identifying housing in rural communities, and
- creative solutions to renovating rural housing.
Speakers
- Bob Currie, Director of Housing and Homeless Services, Division of Mental Health Services, Tennessee Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services.
- Tracy Nolan, RN, BSN, Community Outreach and Housing Director, Red Bird Mission, Beverly, Kentucky.
- Brian M. Smith, Housing Program Administrator, Vermont Department of Mental Health.
Sherri Downing, HHRN Deputy Director, will moderate the presentations and the participant question and answer session at the end of the webinar.
