4.11 Using Diversion to Reduce Homelessness
Diversion is one of many strategies a community can use to reduce homelessness. This workshop will profile communities that have successfully implemented diversion techniques, including securing temporary housing outside the shelter system and service provision outside of shelter, to close the "front door" into homelessness. How diversion fits with other prevention and rapid re-housing strategies will also be discussed.
