<br />Why this training is needed: <br />“We must serve the people who show up not the people we think will show up those are the <br />people who need the services we offer and it is our job to figure out how to get that to <br />them.” <br />Years of research and countless studies have repeatedly shown that discrimination threatens not <br />only access to housing but the stability of communities. Members of the LGBT community are <br />more likely to become homeless, and once homeless, more likely to endure discrimination and <br />harassment that extends their homelessness. LGBT youth experiencing homelessness are at <br />particular risk. Between 20 and 40 percent of all homeless youth identify as members of the <br />LGBT community, and for them, homelessness or the threat of homelessness frequently forces <br />youth into survival behaviors that jeopardize their wellbeing and safety. <br />HUD and other Federal partners, including the U.S. Interagency Council on Homelessness <br />(USICH) and Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), support a national focus on <br />preventing and ending homelessness among LGBT youth and ending all forms of discrimination <br />against all members of the LGBT community in housing and shelter. As the Nation's housing <br />agency, HUD administers programs designed to meet the goal of ensuring decent housing and a <br />suitable living environment for all. <br /> <br /> <br />2 hour Training July 15 9:00am-10:00am <br />LGBTQ + COC Equal Access to Housing Final Rule Training <br />○ Training $500/per hour x 2= $1000 <br /> <br />DocuSign Envelope ID: 603A1B64-AD7D-4383-A675-7123B19B0FBF
