HUD Webinar for Providers on Infectious Disease Preparedness
The recent emergence of coronavirus (COVID-19) calls for enhanced cooperation between public health authorities, homeless service systems, and other partners at the local level. To support these partnerships and the vulnerable households served, relevant federal agencies are issuing guidance from subject matter experts on lessons learned from previous response efforts to infectious diseases.
Please join a panel facilitated by Norm Suchar, Director of HUD's Office of Special Needs Assistance Programs (SNAPS), followed by a question and answer session, on Tuesday, March 10, 2020 at 3:00 PM EDT. Each panelist will provide the most up-to-date information available and identify resources to support local response efforts.
Panelists include:
- Jay Butler MD, Deputy Director Infectious Disease, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
- Barbara DiPietro PhD, Senior Director of Policy, National Health Care for the Homeless Council
- Hedda McLendon, Manager, Housing Service and Stability, King County Department of Community and Human Services
- Marlisa Grogan, Senior Program Specialist, SNAPS, HUD
