Developing trainings that will support the membership, especially around HEARTH implementation and changes in healthcare. Creating Best Practices for assisting residents that are ready to move on from supportive housing. Keeping attuned to HEARTH and ways to assist the membership in thinking, planning and adapting to the new changes. Standards & Best practices
