This email is to inform you of a technical assistance opportunity available to your community: HUD’s Community Workshops. The Workshops are an opportunity for technical assistance through group learning, peer to peer exchange, and individualized support from experts. This round of Community Workshops will begin in August and conclude in November, and will require community participants to attend group sessions, engage in one-on-one assistance, or work on their topic area in the community on a weekly basis. The level of engagement, appropriate participants, and any other pre-requisite capacity varies by workshop topic. The topics offered are listed below.
| Community Workshop Topics: Fall 2021 Semester |
| Coordinated Entry: Prioritization and Assessment |
| Coordinated Entry: Referral Best Practices |
| HMIS Basics |
| Mobilizing Data to Address Inequities |
| Housing Focused Practices: Shelter and Outreach |
| Partnering with People with Lived Experience of Homelessness |
| Note: All communities will be expected to participate in a 3-week prerequisite equity foundational workshop prior to the community workshops. |
Please see the attached letter from HUD SNAPS Director Norm Suchar and “Community Workshops at a Glance” document for more information.
Registration for the workshops is through me as your Regional TA Point of Contact, and the deadline to register is July 12. Please let me know if you’d like more information about any of these topics. I’d be happy to schedule a call if you’d like to discuss your options more, too!
Thanks again for all of the hard work you do to end homelessness in Maine!
