Diversion 2.0 is a training that will thoroughly discuss the diversion conversation and data entry, with an emphasis on creating connections, active empathetic listening, strengths and support exploration and linkage to services and community resources.

This training is for shelter workers, outreach workers, and housing case managers and covers how to document homelessness to prove chronicity. We cover third party letters, self-affidavits, verification of disability, and the Chronic List Cohort.

The Housing Assessment Tool (HAT) training will cover why the CoC decided to move away from the VI-SPDATv2, why it is an effective tool, best practices for usage, and provide an opportunity for attendees to conduct mock assessments with support from the trainer.
