Successful Model for Integrating Housing and Health Care Webinar

The Colorado Coalition for the Homeless (CCH) has been investing in supportive housing since 1990. Since that time, this comprehensive FQHC has developed nearly 1,700 units of housing, and is one of the country’s leaders in integrating health care and housing for a vulnerable population.  This webinar will discuss how CCH finances its capital development; how they plan, design, and manage multiple projects simultaneously; how they integrate housing and health care services; and how they include property management staff in a coordinated approach to care.   The webinar complements a recent policy brief and is sponsored by the National Health Care for the Homeless Council through funding from HRSA.
