Скачать или смотреть HSRC Webinar: Enhancing Housing Stability for People with TBI Experiencing/At Risk For Homelessness

This March 27, 2024 webinar from the Housing and Services Resource Center explores cross-sector partnerships that can enhance housing stability for individuals with traumatic brain injury (TBI) at risk for or experiencing homelessness. Disability, aging, health, and housing organizations — along with state officials and policymakers — can collaborate to expand access to TBI programs and services. Presenters discuss types of services that can enhance housing stability and best practices for collaboration between housing, health, and social care services to increase access to those supports. Attendees gained an understanding of the types of services that can enhance the housing stability of individuals with TBI and learn about the collaborations to increase access to those supports. In October 2018, the National Health Care for the Homeless Council reported that disabilities associated with TBI could interfere with a person’s ability to maintain stable housing and employment. Recent studies have found that half of all people experiencing homelessness report a history of TBI, and evidence indicates that unstable housing situations make it more difficult to fully recover. People who are homeless and living with TBI are more likely to sustain another injury, become the victim of a crime, be arrested, or become dependent upon emergency room visits for treatment. They require supports and services that meet them where they live.
