Enterprise Live Online Event: Best Practices in Supportive Housing and Employment Wednesday, December 12, 2007 90 minutes beginning 2:00pm EST / 11:00am PST
Description Supportive housing is the proven best solution for overcoming homelessness for people with chronic and persistent conditions such as mental illness, addiction to substances, and more. But housing is only the first step for many residents of supportive housing. Employment supports have long been a key element of success for formerly homeless residents. Many supportive housing organizations have developed job- and social venture business-related programming to provide opportunities for their residents, and a movement to do more of this work is growing.
Learn about supportive housing employment efforts to date, get an overview of common models, and hear about a successful San Francisco-based program.
