The Family Collective

Reducing the inflow into the homelessness response system is essential for communities committed to preventing and reducing chronic homelessness. This training will differentiate prevention and diversion as well as identify the workflows and processes that have positively impacted housing-focused problem-solving. Much has been learned about homelessness prevention – what works, what doesn’t work and the impact of evidence-informed practices and engagement.
