Description

Assisting older adults experiencing homelessness, particularly unsheltered homelessness, requires a different set of skills and supports than most homeless providers typically provide. Existing shelter structures or program elements can force older adults to fend for themselves in unsafe environments, taking a further toll on their health. This workshop will explore the partnerships and resources that can offer specialized support to older adults experiencing homelessness and help support transitions to permanent housing arrangements. This session will also explore the importance of data to advance progress on behalf of older adults and ensure ongoing attention to equity.
