Taking Stock of Interim Housing: Lessons from the Bay Area

Webinar | Tuesday, July 21, 10:00 – 11:00am PT

Interim housing programs—temporary living accommodations paired with supportive services—have expanded significantly in recent years to meet the urgent needs of people who sleep in tents, in vehicles, or outside each night. This growth has included new approaches for quickly creating safe, dignified living spaces at scale, but it has also highlighted challenging policy questions about how to balance resources for both interim and permanent housing.

The Terner Center and All Home have been conducting a study of interim housing in the Bay Area, in collaboration with program operators and advisors with lived expertise of homelessness. This webinar presented findings from that research and featured an expert panel discussing key priorities.

Panelists included:

• Ryan Finnigan, Deputy Director of Research, Terner Center (Presenter)
• Chris Cabral, CEO, Committee on the Shelterless; Sonoma County
• Jose Carrizales, Lived Expert Advisor; Solano County
• Jody Ketcheside, Assistant Director of Supportive Housing, Santa Clara County Housing Authority
• Kyriell Noon, CEO, Hamilton Families; San Francisco
• David Amaral, Director of Research and Evaluation, All Home (Moderator)
