Understanding Housing First

Housing First is an evidence-based approach that prioritizes providing permanent housing to people experiencing homelessness. Starting with housing ends someone’s homelessness and provides a platform from which they can pursue personal goals, rebuild their health, and improve their quality of life. The Housing First approach is more effective than others, but it’s frequently misunderstood. This course will explore the key principles of a Housing First approach. It’s designed for anyone interested in solving homelessness or helping people experiencing homelessness.

Anyone enrolled in any Center for Learning course is invited to a live online office hour every month. Some office hours are opportunities to ask questions about material in our courses; others focus on emerging issues or specific populations.
