Powerpoint accompanying workshop session from the Homeless and Housing Coalition of Kentucky's 2013 conference. Presented by Mary Frances Schafer, The Coalition for the Homeless and Davey King, Kentucky Housing Corporation As part of the latest HEARTH ACT regulations outlining the rules for obtaining federal homeless funding, all communities must now develop a common assessment to ensure that all homeless clients receiving services are assessed to understand their unique needs and helped to find services directly related to these needs. Our speakers will describe how communities across the Commonwealth are working to implement this new requirement.
