On May 27, 2009, at 10 AM, the second webinar will focus on Rapid Re-housing. The presenter will be Marge Wherley, Supervisor of Housing and Homeless Initiatives for Hennepin County, Minnesota (FHPAP). FHPAP is facilitating the end of homelessness by providing state funds, including TANF block grant dollars, that can be used innovatively by counties and community nonprofit organizations to help families remain in their homes, re-house those who become homeless and shorten the length of time families spend in shelters.
Please remember to register early for the next webinar.
The webinars will be archived and all materials will be posted on the Advocacy Network web site after the conclusion of each webinar.
