NLIHC, the National Alliance to End Homelessness (the Alliance), and the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities (CBPP) invite advocates nationwide to register for the final webinar in our nine-part series on homelessness and Housing First. The webinar, “Getting the Message Right: Reevaluating How We Talk about Housing First,” will be held today, September 11, from 2:30 to 4 pm ET. In recent years, widespread misinformation about the Housing First model – what it is, how it works, and what it entails – has sown confusion and misunderstanding about the model among lawmakers, the media, and members of the public. The panelists on today’s webinar will discuss the challenges of messaging about the success of Housing First and offer their perspectives on how to reorient messaging to illustrate the program’s benefits more effectively.
The webinar will feature Jen Butler, vice president of external affairs at NLIHC; Tom Murphy, senior director of communications at the Alliance; Marisol Bello, executive director of Housing Narrative Lab; Lindsay Knotts, managing director of impact strategies at TheCaseMade; and Mark Horvath, founder of Invisible People.
Please note that this webinar is not a training, and webinar attendees will not receive a certificate of completion.
