Demystifying the Housing Response System

Employment and housing programs both work to help their participants achieve stability and self-sufficiency, yet these two systems rarely work well together to achieve this goal. Through this training, learn how to better support job seekers experiencing housing instability by understanding how homelessness is defined, the priorties of the homelessness response system, and various housing program models supporting individuals experiencing housing instability.

After attending this training, you will be able to:

• Navigate the homeless response and workforce development systems
• Identify common challenges to employment for job seekers experiencing housing instability
• Implement new solutions and resources to address these challenges
• Improve communication and referrals between housing and workforce agencies
