Webinar: Increasing Housing Placement and Retention

July 31, 2013

 

Join USICH and the National Coalition for Homeless Veterans for an informational webinar on housing placement and retention strategies for programs that serve Veterans who experience homelessness. Connecting homeless Veterans to housing quickly and ensuring housing retention are essential to end homelessness among Veterans by 2015. On this webinar you’ll hear from two organizations that run effective and innovative Grant and Per Diem (GPD) and Supportive Services for Veteran Families (SSVF) programs. You’ll learn how these organizations provide housing location services, mitigate barriers to housing, work to ensure that Veterans retain their permanent housing, and leverage other community programs and resources.

Speakers:

John Driscoll, President and CEO, National Coalition for Homeless Veterans
Barbara Poppe, Executive Director, U.S. Interagency Council on Homelessness
Chela Sullivan, Housing Director, UMOM New Day Centers
Leon Winston, Chief Operating Officer, Swords to Plowshares
