DATE: Friday, March 27
TIME: 10:30 a.m. PT / 1:30 p.m. ET
LOCATION: Zoom
Older adults are the fastest-growing segment of people experiencing homelessness in California and across the U.S. Meeting their complex health and housing needs takes coordination across systems that often aren’t designed to work together.
Join Community Solutions, California Health Care Foundation, and HC2 Strategies for an introduction to a new toolkit that helps communities tackle older adult homelessness by building cross-sector partnerships, using data to understand local needs, mapping existing resources, and developing a shared strategy for action. You’ll also hear from leaders in Sacramento, Calif., who used these approaches to strengthen collaboration between the homeless response system, health care providers, and aging services — and what they learned along the way.
