What’s going on with Rapid Re-Housing
The Virginia Coalition to End Homelessness is partnering with the National Alliance to End Homelessness, the Commonwealth of Virginia, and the Freddie Mac Foundation to support community shifts to rapid re-housing for serving children and families experiencing homelessness.
Please Join Us for Rapid Re-Housing Workshops
As a part of the Rapid Re-Housing Initiative, our partners at the National Alliance to End Homeless are leading day-long workshops on rapid re-housing in March and April. To register for these free workshops, click here.
The trainings will involve a mix of presentation, interactive activities, and community planning. Homeless service providers, including rapid re-housing, emergency shelter and transitional housing programs, as well as public housing authorities, domestic violence providers, child and family services representatives, local funders, and local government are all encouraged to attend.
The events will cover the following topics:
- Developing relationships with landlords
- Structuring financial assistance
- Case management strategies
- Community-based services and partnerships
- Outcomes for achieving high rates of housing stability
