A Great New Training Institute

As many HBI stakeholders are aware, I spend my time split between my work with HBI and my work with the Center for Social Innovation (C4).

C4 is a "think tank" based out of Boston, MA that works to translate research, policy and best practice resources into concrete tools that providers and clinicians can use to end homelessness and address poverty.

C4 recently launched the "T3 Institute." T3 is a collaboration between C4 and the National Center on Family Homelessness (NCFH). T3 is an innovative training institute committed to improving the knowledge and skills of people working in homeless services. T3 believes that a skilled workforce is essential to mount a serious response to complex social problems.

T3 has a free module that people can watch to learn an amazing array of information about the “History of Homelessness.”

Take a few minutes to check out the T3 website. There is lot of great information and a really aesthetically appealing style to the way information is presented. I am really proud of the great work at C4 and the product we have developed through T3.
