• Explore discrimination and trauma-informed strategies to support LGBTQIA+ individuals, all families, and survivors of gender-based violence

• Provide resources, training, and other tools to ensure compliance with the Fair Housing Act and EAR

Audience

This webinar is intended for Emergency Shelter staff, leadership, and program managers. Other practitioners interested in learning more about the EAR are also welcome to attend. This could include anyone supporting any programs administered through HUD’s Office of Community Planning and Development (CPD) including Continuum of Care (CoC) homeless assistance, Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG), and Housing Opportunities for Persons With AIDS (HOPWA).
