NLIHC, the National Alliance to End Homelessness (NAEH), and the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities (CBPP) invite advocates nationwide to register for the fourth webinar in our series on homelessness and Housing First. Join us for the webinar, “Housing First Serves Veterans and Promotes Recovery,” today (March 20) at 2:30 pm ET!
The webinar will examine how Housing First is being used to end veteran homelessness and explore how the evidence-based approach supports Recovery Housing. Today’s webinar will feature Ann Oliva, chief executive officer of NAEH; recorded remarks from Senate Committee on Veterans’ Affairs Chairman Jon Tester (D-MT), House Committee on Veterans’ Affairs Chairman Mike Bost (R-IL), and House Committee on Veterans’ Affairs Ranking Member Mark Takano (D-CA); Monica Diaz, executive director of the U.S. Department of Veterans’ Affairs (VA) Veterans Health Administration (VHA) Homeless Programs Office; Shawn Liu, director of communications of the VA’s VHA Homeless Programs Office; Williams E. Higgins, Jr., executive director of Homeless Advocacy for All, at-large officer with lived experience on the Maine Continuum of Care (CoC) board, and board member of the National Coalition for the Homeless; Dr. LaMont Green, director of diversity, equity, and inclusion at the Technical Assistance Collaborative; and Steve Berg, chief policy officer of NAEH.
Please note that this webinar is not a training, and webinar attendees will not receive a certificate of completion.
More than 7,000 people registered for the four-part webinar series held by NLIHC and our partners in August and September 2022. Given the tremendous interest among stakeholders and the increased risk of harmful measures to criminalize homelessness, we have decided to continue our national webinar series, with webinars being held monthly. We will share critical information about solutions to homelessness and amplify the work of advocates and people with lived expertise across the nation.
