Homelessness providers, planners, and researchers have developed and refined strategies for serving chronically homeless people. The Alliance’s annual conference will feature several workshops describing these developments. Topics include employment for people in recovery, low-demand housing, maximizing consumer decision making, moving on from permanent supportive housing, scattered site approaches, effective partnerships, engaging people living on the streets, cognitive impairments, and new research on homelessness. Workshops will combine content from some of the most established programs in the country, including Downtown Emergency Services Center in Seattle and Mercy Housing/Lakefront in Chicago, with some fresh faces who have more recently developed programs serving chronically homeless people.
