MCoC Resource Committee 2019 Trainings Survey

As Maine’s Continuum of Care’s Resource Committee looks toward 2019, we were looking for input from the community on what you would like to see for trainings.  In 2018, we had Fair Housing, Educational Rights and Protections for Children and Youth under McKinney/Vento , BRAP and Shelter Plus Care Rental Subsidies, and Social Security Disability Claims and Finding Success through SOAR.
Two trainings that we are looking to provide next year will be on the “Equal Access to Housing in HUD Programs Regardless of Sexual Orientation or Gender Identity” rule and the Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act.

Please let us know the top four trainings you would like the Maine Continuum of Care to provide in 2019 which would benefit your clients and/or staff.

SOAR Online Course Cohort Timeline-Maine October 2018

Hello everyone!

I am reaching out based on your interest in getting involved with SOAR (SSI/SSDI Outreach, Access and Recovery) in Maine! As you know, Ashley has moved on to a new position, but we are still working hard to get SOAR strongly established in Maine.  In the meantime, the SAMHSA SOAR TA Center will be facilitating a virtual SOAR Online Course cohort. What that means is that anyone who is interested will register for the SOAR Online Course and I will hold weekly virtual calls using Adobe Connect in order to check-in on your progress and answer any questions you have.

Please let me know by September 27 if you are interested in participating in the cohort and I will make sure that you are added to all of the calendar appointments.  I have attached the cohort timeline which has some additional information about how it will work and how to register.

We will hold weekly check-in calls on October 4, 11, and 18 from 3:00-4:00pm ET.

Do not hesitate to reach out to me with any questions you have.

Also, feel free to forward this message to anyone else that you think would be interested in participating.

Looking forward to getting to know you all!

 

Take care,

Kristin
