As we enter the second year of the CalWORKs Housing Support Program, we know that one of the most critical components of a successful program is a strong partnership between the human services agency and housing providers. In this session, we will explore some of the partnership lessons learned in year one. Housing Support Program counties and housing providers will share their successes, their challenges, what changes they plan to make to their program going forward, and other useful tips and ideas they’ve gathered throughout the year. This session is designed for current and new housing support counties, housing partners, and others with an interest in the Housing Support Program.
