The goals of this session are to (1) highlight successful strategies for improving collaboration between justice and housing system partners at the local level and (2) present a variety of housing solutions that could improve outcomes for justice-involved people. Improved collaboration can help remove silos that contribute to the persistent housing barriers faced by those with a history of criminal justice involvement and ensure that solutions are intentionally designed for this group. The presentation will include initial lessons learned from the Just Home Project - an effort in four SJC communities to improve housing stability for justice-involved people. Facilitators will provide attendees with a list of policy and programmatic housing solutions and guide attendees through an exercise to identify a subset to consider for local implementation. Attendees will also be prompted to identify strategies to improve local housing and justice system collaboration.
