Healing Starts at Home: Reimagining Permanent Supportive Housing for Trauma Survivors: Part 3
Wed, October 20, 2021 @ 10:00 am - 11:30 am
On October 20th, Saba Mwine, Managing Director, Homelessness Policy Research Institute, will facilitate Part III of the Healing Starts at Home series. Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) that effectively incorporates trauma-informed design and safety elements into its physical layout and operations can promote and increase healing for survivors of domestic violence. Guests will learn best practice guidance on architectural design in PSH spaces that address the unique barriers and needs survivors face in achieving housing and personal stability. This panel will feature models of how to ensure resident voice is central to the physical design and operations of low-income housing to create trauma-informed community. Panelists will both discuss and model techniques for reimagining housing that are grounded in creativity, equity, and resilience.
