Description
Emergency shelter is a vital part of the homeless response system: it saves lives in the short term and can reduce homelessness—if it employs effective practices. This course will cover five key principles of effective emergency shelter. It’s appropriate for people who are, or would like to become, direct service staff, shelter management, or leadership, as well as for funders, system leaders, or government employees with an interest in local shelters.
