Please join the Community Living Policy Center and the Bazelon Center for Mental Health Law for our upcoming webinar, which will highlight the importance of Housing First for unhoused people with disabilities and the role it plays in advancing community living. Housing First is an evidence-based approach that helps people with disabilities access affordable permanent housing and services individually tailored to a person's needs. Housing is not conditioned on people demonstrating successful participation in services. This enables people to achieve the stability that they need in order to focus on and address their needs holistically, including mental health or substance use issues. Panelists will provide a history of the evolution of Housing First policy, provide examples of how Housing First works and why it matters now more than ever for disabled people and other populations disproportionately affected by homelessness.
