NLIHC, the National Alliance to End Homelessness (the Alliance), and the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities (CBPP) invite advocates nationwide to register for the eighth webinar in our series on homelessness and Housing First. Join us for the webinar, “Keeping Faith with Housing First in Turbulent Times: Findings from Recent Research,” today (August 14) at 2:30 pm ET. The webinar will examine how we can build support for humane, evidence-based practices and policies despite the unrelenting nature of the affordable housing crisis and growing calls for ineffective and punitive measures for addressing homelessness, including criminalization and the high-barrier “treatment first” approach. Panelists will address the affordable housing crisis, efforts undertaken by HUD and local homelessness systems to house people experiencing homelessness, and developments in the field.
Today’s webinar will feature Nicole DuBois, senior research analyst and coordinator at the Alliance; NLIHC senior research analyst Dan Emmanuel; David Gonzalez Rice, policy advisor in HUD’s Office of the Secretary; Dr. Tiana Moore, policy director of the Benioff Homelessness and Housing Initiative; Tasha Gray, executive director of the Homeless Action Network of Detroit, Collaborative Applicant, MI 501 – Detroit CoC; and John Threlkeld, senior congressional affairs manager at the Alliance.
Please note that this webinar is not a training, and webinar attendees will not receive a certificate of completion.
