About the webinar
During this engaging session, Alex Smith, senior national practice development project manager (Housing First lead) at Homeless Link, presents ways of engaging other sectors in Housing First. Related to her expertise and the guides produced by Homeless Link for criminal justice, health, mental health, social care and substance use sectors, she discusses what role these sectors can play in Housing First and how they can adapt their support in relevant ways. Arturo Coego, coordinator of the Housing First Hub, moderates this webinar.
In the spirit of knowledge sharing, the organizers invite participants to engage in discussion via chatroom at the conclusion of the event. This will allow participants to exchange insights and ask questions alongside fellow attendees.
