The Community Care Center is hosting it's second monthly community workshop! This month will be led by our partners at SideWalk.
Housing First approaches are based on the concept that a homeless individual or households first and primary need is to obtain stable housing, and that other issues that may affect the household can and should be addressed once housing is obtained. In contrast, many other programs operate from a model of "housing readiness" — that is, that an individual or household must address other issues that may have led to the episode of homelessness prior to entering housing. SideWalk and its community partners adopted this model and strive to find housing for individuals first, while working to secure other resources to meet the person’s ongoing challenges or needs. This workshop will discuss the tenants of Housing First and demonstrate the methods that are working and the challenges experienced in the process. We hope to see you there!
