Don’t miss Kay Moshier McDivitt of the National Alliance to End Homelessness and her excellent presentation on Rapid Rehousing training. On Tuesday, December 16, Kay will present a repeat of her spring training entitled ‘Core Skills in Rapid Rehousing’ for those who were not able to participate. Training is at the United Way of Greater New Haven, 370 James Street, New Haven.
This training will focus on the essential elements of rapidly rehousing homeless families and individuals: housing first approaches, rapid rehousing models and best practices and case management skills. Topics to be covered include:

  • an overview of the Housing First and rapid re-housing models, current best practices, and community examples;
  • developing strategic partnerships as part of rapid re-housing or other Housing First programs;
  • service strategies, including housing location, landlord engagement, and home-based case management;
  • and critical factors for good program design and implementation, including data collection and outcomes.

This training is geared toward shelter providers, rapid rehousing case managers and other frontline staff in homeless services, as well as program managers and directors. It is particularly well suited for programs looking to implement a housing first or rapid rehousing approach or for those looking to increase the skills of front line staff in these areas.
