D2 - Homelessness and Unhoused Populations and Interventions

Individuals with MH and/or SU challenges who are experiencing homelessness are a highly vulnerable population that require a range of interventions for engagement, treatment, and support in order to promote not only access to sustainable housing, but also to promote recovery over time. In this presentation, the panelists will provide information about better ways of identifying appropriate interventions for this population at the clinical and program level, describe variations in the design of scattered site and congregate supported housing that allow for housing to be better matched to the individuals' needs and preferences, and methodologies for population management and resource allocation for homeless individuals that can be applied at the system or community level.
