About the Webinar
The Housing First model is based on the belief that housing is a basic
human right. People with psychiatric and addiction disorders should not
have to prove that they are "housing ready" by first participating in
treatment or by being clean and sober. Once settled in a stable living
situation, they can engage in a variety of services and treatments
available to them from interdisciplinary teams that make house calls. 
Join this webinar to learn how you can bring the award-winning,
evidence-based Housing First model to your community. Get an overview of
core values and program components and learn how you can start and
operate your own Housing First program.
