This is a little down the road but I thought I'd bring it up now since homelessness has been a recent topic on the list.
Darrell Gerber Kingfield --------------------------------- The Center for Urban and Regional Affairs Presents The CURA Housing Forum A monthly brown bag discussion of Twin Cities housing issues and research NOTE NEW DATE: Friday, December 9, 12:00-1:30 p.m. Challenges and Achievements of the Plan to End Long-Term Homelessness Carlson School of Management, Room 1-123 A broad working group established by the Legislature in 2003 at the request of the Governor completed a business plan to end long-term homelessness by 2010. The plan calls for multi-disciplinary (housing, human services, corrections), multi-sector (government, business, nonprofit) and multi-jurisdictional (federal, state, local) strategies to address long-term homelessness. Key to success will be creating 4,000 additional supportive housing opportunities for people who have experienced long-term homelessness. The forum will focus on the achievements and challenges along the way to implementing the plan. Featured forum speakers are key players in implementing the business plan: -- Richard Amos, Program Manager, St. Stephens Housing, a program serving families, youth, and adults without children in need of housing in Hennepin County -- Janel Bush, Director of Community Living Supports, Minnesota Department of Human Services, overseeing group residential housing and other programs key to the success of the business plan -- Laura Kadwell, Minnesota Director of Ending Long-Term Homelessness, Minnesota Housing Finance Agency, coordinating the work of all partners in implementing the business plan Please RSVP by Wednesday, December 7 at 612-625-1551.
