In ordinary times, many victim services programs use hotel and motel stays to stretch capacity, accommodate households who need to opt out of community shelter models, and as a bridge to imminent shelter openings. How can hotel and motel stays be effectively employed during the COVID-19 pandemic? This webinar features presenters from Iowa programs who are using this strategy as part of their pandemic response.
Presenters:
- Ashley Odom, Family Resources
- Kelley Schmitz, Friends of the Family
- Jodie Schmidt, Friends of the Family
The special topic series is designed to give advocates a chance to learn more about the available housing options for survivors, ask questions, process issues, and provide mutual support on the impact of the COVID-19 virus in safe housing programs.
