On December 6, the Western MA Network to End Homelessness hosted a training on the Emergency Assistance shelter system and the HomeBASE program. Our trainers, Alvina Brevard, Director of Field Operations for the MA Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD), and Amy Mullen, HomeBASE and RAFT Contract Compliance Coordinator, led a group of over 70 Network partners in a morning of learning. They produced two excellent PowerPoint presentations that provide a comprehensive overview of the programs: Emergency Assistance and HomeBASE and have generously volunteered them to our larger blog audience.
A huge thanks to Alvina and Amy for such an excellent training and thanks to our Network partners for their commitment to help families avoid and end homelessness.
