Join the Terner Center on Thursday, April 14 from 12 pm to 1 pm PT for Lessons from California’s Homekey Program. The webinar will explore lessons from the first round of funding for California’s Homekey initiative, an innovative program developed during the COVID-19 pandemic to address homelessness by dramatically increasing funding for interim and permanent supportive housing, often through motel/hotel conversions.
Drawing from our recent paper, this webinar will cover how local agencies, service providers, and nonprofit developers are implementing Homekey in regions across the state, including different approaches to using Homekey funds and providing housing and resident services. The webinar will also address the implications for future rounds of Homekey as well as lessons that are more broadly applicable to affordable housing and homelessness programs.
