Webinar Description

Over 150,000 Californians are experiencing homelessness. The COVID pandemic encouraged innovation and infused a significant amount of one-time dollars into cities and counties to help address this crisis. But what did local governments learn from this experience? Join ILG, HCD and your local government colleagues to hear about funding opportunities, strategies and lessons learned to implement housing strategies to make progress toward tackling California’s homelessness crisis.

Panelists:

• Megan Hunter, Community Development Director, City of Salinas
• Lindsey Slama, Senior Homelessness Policy Specialist, Department of Housing and Community Development
• Cheri Todoroff, Interim Director, Homeless Initiative, Los Angeles County
