VCEH AUDIO CONFERENCE -- Federal and State Funding Shifts to Rapid Re-Housing: The POSITIVE Impact on Emergency Shelter and Transitional Housing Programs
DATE: Tuesday April 12, 2011
TIME: 10:00 - 11:30 am
Local, state, and federal public and private dollars are shifting to support rapid re-housing strategies and programs. Many are asking: "How can my emergency shelter and transitional housing programs adapt to this shift?"; and "What does this mean for the future of my agency?"
Join this audio-conference for a dialogue on how funds are shifting to rapid re-housing, what is expected of successful rapid re-housing programs, and how emergency shelter and transitional housing programs can successfully begin or increase rapid re-housing strategies within their current programs. Rapid re-housing can be incorporated into and can meet the current goals of emergency shelter and transitional housing programs. Find out how. The call will focus on the current federal and state funding opportunities for rapid re-housing.
After registering for the call, you will receive a confirmation email which will include a dial-in conference call number to access the call.
VCEH sponsors audio conferences, committee meetings, and workshops to inform Virginia on best practice strategies to prevent and end homelessness and involve our local and community partners in our work. More events and trainings will be scheduled soon!
