Our Work

Re-tooling the Crisis Response System

Our Work

We work to transform the response to the homelessness crisis into one that prevents homelessness and rapidly returns people to stable housing by developing and promoting best practices; developing community-based implementation strategies; and ensuring that these strategies are coordinated with education for homeless children and youth.

Each year, CCEH hosts an Annual Training Institute on improving the response to homelessness.  It provides an opportunity to

  • Network and foster deeper connections with health, education, social and human service providers and advocates
  • Expand new skills and new relationships into policy and practice
  • Identify how your work fits into the state and federal plans to end homelessness
  • Develop interdisciplinary approaches with those working to combat poverty, the high cost of housing, interpersonal violence
  • Learn about emerging local and national best practices from experts
