PROGRAM SYNOPSIS
.
As Ohio experiences an unprecedented housing crisis, criminal justice-involved individuals continue to face additional challenges and barriers in obtaining safe and affordable housing. The Ohio Community Corrections Association is partnering with the Coalition on Homelessness and Housing in Ohio (COHHIO) to offer a series of workshops designed to provide corrections professionals with the tools to help their clients more effectively navigate the housing services available throughout Ohio. This first workshop in the series will introduce the concept of Housing First. Housing First is a consumer-driven approach that provides immediate access to permanent housing, in addition to flexible, community-based services for people who have experienced homelessness. This training is designed to increase understanding of the Housing First principles and the evidence-based practices grounded in those principles.
Participants must be able to respond to poll questions, have access to a microphone for virtual breakout sessions, and video cameras should be turned on. All participants will engage in an interactive, virtual training and share their knowledge and experience.
This training is geared toward case managers, probation officers, and others who assist criminal justice involved individuals in meeting their housing needs.
