CFTH Presents: Building Better Pathways — Creating Faster Routes to Stability

What does it take to help someone experiencing homelessness find a path to stability without entering a long-term housing program? In this CFTH Presents discussion, leaders from the Coalition for the Homeless of Houston/Harris County (CFTH) and The Way Home explore Rapid Resolutions and other strategies that help people identify faster, more flexible paths out of homelessness. The conversation examines: • how Rapid Resolutions help people identify practical paths to housing stability • why traditional housing interventions are not the right solution for everyone • how personal networks, community resources and flexible assistance can remove barriers • why strengths-based, person-centered approaches matter • how partners across Houston work together to connect people with the right resources • what faster routes to stability can mean for the broader homeless response system Speakers discuss how providers across Houston use problem-solving, personal networks, community resources and targeted assistance to help people overcome barriers and regain stability — while reserving limited long-term housing resources for people who need them most. Speakers: • Quana Smith, Director of Adjacent Systems, CFTH • Melissa McAlister, Sobering Center HROT HI Services Manager • Kenneth Eakins, Director of Housing and Navigation Services, The Salvation Army • Heather Clark, Manager of Diversion Programs, The Beacon • James Gonzalez, Vice President of Systems Integration, CFTH Learn more about CFTH and The Way Home: https://www.cfthhouston.org/ Subscribe for updates from CFTH: https://lp.constantcontactpages.com/s... #Houston #Homelessness #HousingStability #TheWayHome #CFTH
