Overview


Chronic homelessness is defined as long-term or repeated homelessness, often coupled with a disability, making people who experience chronic homelessness one of the most vulnerable populations needing services. Stable and permanent housing is an essential component of successful recovery for people who are unhoused. This training explores the similarities and differences between people who experience long-term homelessness as well as other unhoused groups. Effective individual and programmatic interventions to successfully engage, assess, and house people are offered and practiced throughout this training. Case studies are used throughout to illustrate and practice the skills taught. At the end of the training, attendees will have a better understanding of the unique needs of people who experience chronic homelessness and strategies to offer optimal service.
