On Wednesday, February 9, at 2:00 p.m. EST, the National Law Center on Homelessness & Poverty will host a webinar to discuss topics explored in “On the Edge: How HUD Can Improve the Homelessness Prevention and Rapid Re-Housing Program.” The report offers an in-depth analysis of the program, assessing its effectiveness and making recommendations for future HUD homelessness prevention efforts. It is based on a survey of 121 service providers one year after HPRP funds were made available.
The Law Center’s policy director Jeremy Rosen, will present the report’s central findings. The webinar will also feature presenters who are running local programs that use HPRP funds to effectively serve homeless persons, including:
– Christopher Webster, outreach specialist at Lincoln Nebraska Public Schools, who fostered an HPRP collaboration between public schools and a homeless service provider.
-Christian Abasto & Alisa Neary from Legal Aid Foundation of Los Angeles who manage an eviction protection collaborative that combines legal advocacy and negotiation with landlords to keep tenants from losing their housing.
The webinar will be held on February 9, 2010, 2:00 p.m. – 3:00 p.m. EST.
