Dr. Sam Tsemberis, of the Pathways Housing First Institute, is considered the founding father of the Housing First permanent supportive housing model for housing persons experiencing homelessness.
Dr. Tsemberis shares his expert insights on:
What are the components and goals of a TRUE Housing First Model?
What is the difference between the Housing First Model for permanent supportive housing and a Housing First Philosophy more broadly?
Has wider acceptance/usage of 'Housing First' parlance helped or hurt the scaling of quality, sustainable solutions?
What do state and local planning leaders need to have, know, and do in order to succeed in scaling Housing First for ending homelessness?
Why is it critical to prioritize the most vulnerable populations that often require the most resource-intensive solutions to ending homelessness?You Can Contact Dr. Sam Tsemberis at:
