Introduction to the definition of Chronic Homelessness
August 23, 2016 @ 9:00 am - 10:00 am
DBHR, HCA, Dept. of Commerce and our national technical assistance organization, HomeBase, are hosting a series of webinars to bring attention to the new HUD definition of chronic homelessness. The chronic homeless population is one of the targeted populations for the new supportive housing benefit in the 1115 Medicaid Waiver, and this webinar will provide an overview of documentation requirements for demonstrating chronic homelessness so members of that population can receive services under the benefit. This webinar will highlight the HUD definition criteria and context for recent changes. The presentation will briefly break down documentation requirements and strategies. Our presenters will also review the federal benchmark process for measuring communities’ progress in ending chronic homelessness.
