Building a Stronger Homeless Response System: The Role of our Community’s New Men's Shelter

This presentation by Natalie Erdman and Kristin Rucinski, explores Dane County's evolving homeless response system, the role of Madison's new men's shelter, and how collaboration among government, nonprofits, businesses, healthcare providers, and community members is creating stronger pathways from homelessness to housing.
