Homelessness Service Fundamentals Housing First and Harm Reduction

Presented at the Homes Within Reach conference, January 12 - 14, 2021. Many housing agencies are incorporating progressive, person-centered strategies in their service provision, but not all remain genuinely committed to high fidelity Housing First and harm reduction practice. What happens when program participants present with repeated behavioral concerns and eviction notices? How do we, as providers, navigate difficult decisions while preserving both the therapeutic alliance and landlord relationships? In this workshop, we’ll discuss how providers can promote safety, communication, and participant self-determination simultaneously; Strategies for engaging landlords and stakeholders in your mission; Circumventing barriers for our most vulnerable participants; Who you should be partnering with; What accountability looks like through a harm reduction lens; and more. Panelists will address what the application of Housing First and harm reduction theory looks like in practice, dispel common myths about these models, and provide guidance for adaptive challenges.
