4.6 Rural Roundtable: Unique Challenges and Innovative Solutions
Serving families and youth experiencing homelessness in rural communities includes a distinct set of obstacles that are not always covered in larger discussions about homelessness. In this interactive workshop, audience members and presenters will discuss the problems their communities have faced and how they have attempted to overcome them, with additional discussion on opportunities and challenges associated with HEARTH Act implementation.

Speakers:
Linda Olsen, Washington State Coalition Against Domestic Violence, Seattle, WA
Jonda Clemings, Coalition on Homelessness & Housing in Ohio, Columbus, OH
