Subject: FW: CMHC Housing First Teleforum

 

Housing First has received a great deal of recent attention.  

 

Attached is information (and registration details) about a CMHC teleforum on
Housing First Strategies: Challenges and Solutions for Implementation.  

                        

This teleforum will focus on strategies for implementing Housing First using
scattered sites.  Participants will hear from experts who have used this
housing first approach for several years.  These experts work with homeless
people living with significant challenges - including substance use and/or
mental health issues. The session is designed to promote dialogue and answer
questions. 

 

This teleforum will be held Wednesday, December 12th at 2 pm EST.  It is
designed to appeal to policy makers at all levels of government, agencies
that work with homeless people, health care professionals, and housing
providers considering dedicating a portion of units to homeless people.

 

All costs are covered by CMHC. 

 

Capacity is limited, so please register ASAP.
