Tonight, some families in our community will be sleeping in a shelter, couch surfing and not in their own homes. Something has occurred that caused them to lose housing. It could have been a job loss, unforeseen expenses, or a personal crisis and now they are at risk of being homeless or are experiencing homelessness. Imagine if we could prevent homelessness from happening by providing support to families before a shelter becomes their only option. Preventing homelessness is possible when we become aware of what the risk factors are and learn how to provide support early on.
This toolkit & instructional video gives you the knowledge you need to help a family stay housed. You will learn the early warning signs that can lead to homelessness and the steps you can take to support a family so that they do not become homeless.
Who is it for?
In this approach, community, families, and agencies work together to prevent homelessness.
