Having an inclusive shelter system requires serving the needs of diverse populations, including LGBTQ youth and families that include adolescent boys. Having an effective shelter system requires permanent housing-focused services and a commitment to move households into permanent housing as quickly as possible. This workshop will discuss how communities can start on the path of developing both.
