Supportive housing can provide a critical solution to homelessness, as it combines affordable housing with support services such as mental health and substance abuse treatment, job training, and case management. However, the establishment of supportive housing can sometimes face opposition from local residents and community organizations, who may have concerns about safety, property values, and the impact on the neighborhood.
In this training, we will explore strategies for building community support for supportive housing and managing opposition and concerns from neighbors. We will discuss effective communication strategies, ways to address common misconceptions and fears, and tools for engaging with community members and stakeholders.
By the end of this training, you will be equipped with the skills and knowledge needed to successfully build community support for supportive housing and manage opposition and concerns from neighbors, ensuring that this vital solution to homelessness can be established in a way that benefits all members of the community.
