Description
People who are at immediate risk of homelessness will often need to enter a shelter, but in some cases, they could avoid entering the homeless response system with a little help. This practice is called diversion, and its heart is a customized problem-solving approach. This course provides a big-picture overview of how communities can design and implement a diversion strategy. It’s appropriate for anyone interested in helping their community use diversion.
