With the growing national housing crisis, elder law attorneys, legal assistance providers, and elder rights advocates will likely engage with clients experiencing housing instability and possibly homelessness. Understanding the housing services network, housing issues unique to older adults, and how to create community partnerships is key to providing effective support and legal advocacy for older adult clients with housing issues. This training will provide an introduction to the basics of the housing services network and issues older adults face in housing. We will also explore how community partnerships can enhance service delivery and how to collaborate with other aging advocates.

This training will address:
• The basics of the housing services network
• Strategies for solving housing issues unique to older adults
• Creating and maintaining community and advocacy partnerships

Presenter:
• Kevin Rabine, Three Rivers Legal Services
