This training will address using SHIP to prevent and end homelessness. We will discuss strategies including eviction prevention, rental assistance, and development of housing for special needs populations. SHIP funds can and should be used to help round out options and fill gaps in housing needs for special populations, including those nearing and/or homelessness We will share examples of strategies implemented by SHIP administrators that address homelessness and allow time for discussion of your community’s ideas as well. Additionally, this training will discuss other funding streams available in the community (i.e., Emergency Rental Assistance Programs, State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds, Emergency Solutions Grant funding, etc.) and how to ensure that there is not unnecessary duplication of services or payment.
