AOTLN June Webinar: Bridging the Gap: Housing Strategies for AOT Participants

June’s AOT Learning Network webinar, Bridging the Gap: Housing Strategies for AOT Participants, will feature a panel of dedicated experts from diverse jurisdictions discussing housing challenges and solutions within their communities.

Securing and maintaining stable housing is a significant challenge for individuals diagnosed with SMI, and housing instability often exacerbates mental health conditions. The ongoing shortage of affordable housing and rising costs across the country only compound this issue, making it seem insurmountable at times. Join us as we explore critical questions such as: How can we overcome barriers to housing, including eligibility and entry challenges? How do we navigate the gap between participants’ housing preferences and what is available in the community? And in cases where an AOT participant is unhoused and cannot be located, what steps should be taken?

Panelists include Nicholas Schrantz, Probate Court Monitor for Butler County, Ohio; Alejandra Piñón, Behavioral Health Supervisor for ACT and AOT Programs in Bexar County, Texas; and Katherine Schiller, Associate General Counsel for Community Behavioral Health Services in Georgia. This webinar will take place Wednesday, June 18 at 3 p.m. ET. Click here to register.
