The Homeless Coalition provides training for CoC members as well as the general community. Regular ongoing training is essential to understanding the “best practices” in serving those experiencing homelessness. It provides our CoC and our community the ability to perform well at both the local and national levels and helps us get closer to achieving our ultimate goal of ending homelessness for all.

UPCOMING TRAINING

Boot Camp is incredibly valuable for anyone who wants to learn more about homeless services in our community. Attendees learn about what the Continuum of Care is, how it functions, important systems we work with, best practices in case management, and other useful resources available to those experiencing homelessness.

BOOT CAMP LIVE! is an in-person training that includes a walking tour of the shelters on Lancaster.

BOOT CAMP: Video Tours is an in-person training with video tours of the shelters.
