5.5 Accommodating All Families: Addressing Substance Abuse
Communities must have interventions in place to end homelessness for all families, including families that have parents who struggle with an addiction or substance abuse problem. This workshop will explore the continuum of service interventions needed to help such families achieve housing stability and improve their health and functioning. Models that support recovery, promote positive family outcomes, and safely serve families with parents that are still using or abusing substances will also be explored.
