Here's a quick share of 15 minute video #dialogue with folks who are experts from experience via the UK's #Homeless and #Housing sector. It was fun and I got to highlight one of my favorite stories (Butch) from the woods and riversides of Western MA. #Harmreduction

We had a great time at UK Pathways conference on Homelessness and Inclusion Health. I felt fortunate to attend a book launch celebrating my new book ~

Pretreatment Across Multiple Fields of Practice: Trauma Informed Approach to Homelessness and Beyond

The studies on Housing First shows great success in addressing chronic homelessness and major mental illness. Housing First was never meant as a primary response to folks with opioid addiction & homelessness.

HF is a concept with many different programs under its umbrella. Interesting NPR video!

Yes... This is true! I worked very closely with Phil Mangano via MHSA. He was appointed by the Bush administration and took the lead in this regard with a national agenda of spreading 10 year plans to end homelessness. Housing First (Pathways Model) was one of the critical tools for achieving this.

Here's my website: www.jayslevy.com

Lot's of information on #housing and #homelessness books, interviews, and presentations about #Pretreatment approach for assisting vulnerable people who have experienced homelessness and #trauma.

Hey Jonathon,

Yes, Promoting Safety is 1 of 5 guiding principles of Pretreatment. It is based on harm reduction, as well as crisis intervention strategies. It's useful to think of crisis intervention as taking a more directive/active stance. My books demonstrate and explore this in some detail.

Absolutely.... Support services with a person-centered guiding philosophy and reflective practice for staff are critical for helping vulnerable people attain and sustain affordable housing- Learn more about a Pretreatment approach for Supportive housing, Street Medicine and outreach staff, etc.

Sure... Count me in!

I like the sentiment and agree that affordable housing should be our primary response. Criminalization just makes it worse and is unjust. Housing First is a good response as well, which means housing plus support services. Also, there are a number of economic and cultural causes to homelessness

HF is not a panacea, but it is a crucial piece of the puzzle to effectively address the societal ill of homelessness
