Past Webinar: Integrating Housing and Behavioral Health Services through Homekey+

Webinar | Wednesday, March 26, 10:00 – 11:00am PT

Proposition 1 and Homekey+ are unlocking significant new resources to support and house people with behavioral health challenges. This webinar focused on the types of housing projects and services that can make the most impactful use of these new resources, among others. The webinar included a research presentation on the types of projects produced through Homekey and other state programs, as well as who those projects serve.

A panel of experts discussed:

• best practices for serving people with behavioral health challenges (including special considerations for veterans);
• lessons learned from prior Homekey projects and other types of PSH serving this population; and
• the potential to support residents’ ongoing services and properties’ operations with the Behavioral Health Services Act (BHSA).

• Ryan Finnigan, Associate Research Director, Terner Center (Moderator)
• Calleene Egan, Chief Executive Officer, Insight Housing
• Paul Fordham, Chief Executive Officer, Homeward Bound of Marin
