Homeward’s Solution Providers Training

From announcement:

Friday, February 4th, 2011
8:45 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

Homeward offers this quarterly training to familiarize new human and homeless services employees, agency and nonprofit staff, board members, volunteers and other interested individuals to the housing and community services of Greater Richmond.

Included in the day’s agenda is a Service Provider Bus Tour, an effective tool for introducing people to our community’s range of temporary housing programs, a journey often followed by people on their way through a housing crisis. From emergency shelter to transitional and permanent, supportive housing, participants see agencies in action and become connected to people working toward recovery and stability.

Next training is scheduled for: Friday, February 4, 2011

We will provide training attendees with morning refreshments and snacks throughout the bus tour.
(Please note, this is a change from previous Solution Providers Training sessions.)

Report: Decline in “Chronic Homelessness” in VA

This is bad news for Mo and Nathan…they are trying to gentrify the homeless by removing them from Monroe Park and move them to temporary housing…we must STOP them!!

The report says there was a 4.5% increase in homelessness in va. Last year.

Darek, not arguing with you, just quoting from the report, which I agree is suspect:

“She says when it comes to “chronic” homelessness, Virginia actually saw a decline.

“There was a decrease in the number of ‘chronically’ homeless people by 3.5 percent, which is sort of the stereotype that we have of homelessness: a person on the street with mental illness or substance abuse disorders.”
