Using the Housing First Model to shift our practices to a systems approach – Webinar
This presentation is a useful moment to sharpen our focus on systems of care rather than our frequently siloed intra-organizational perspective.
Join the next International Housing First webinar, hosted by the Canadian Housing First Network – Community of Interest and the Housing First Europe Hub. This is the second in the 2022-2023 International Webinar Series on Housing First!
In this webinar, experts and practitioners from Canada, the United States and Europe will share their research, policies and practices on how to create system change through the implementation of Housing First principles and programs.

The background documents from the European Hub suggest a lens on policy and advocacy and how this can be integrated with practice via a governance approach. This seems quite different from our usual talk of implementation! It would be great to hear what others think about the talk after.

It would be wonderful to have service providers advocating side-by-side with affected families.
Yes, it's the only way to go....as you say "side by side" rather than the tag along.
As well, somehow stop the access and best fit silos of entry to housing between homelessness vs mental health/addictions, if we are truly taking a systems approach that is driven by prevention and actual care, vs. emergency as depicted in the graphics above.
