Description

The transition into permanent housing following homelessness or housing instability can be particularly challenging for individuals who use methamphetamine or other stimulants. However, there are interventions and supports that can help improve safety, independence, and recovery in housing. This webinar will discuss health and housing challenges related to methamphetamine use and will provide specific strategies to support new and existing tenants who use methamphetamine to maintain housing. Join us as we release the Guide to Methamphetamine Use, Treatment, and Housing Considerations for People Experiencing Homelessness (available in English and Spanish). Attendees will hear from speakers with experience in the field and have an opportunity to engage in a Q&A session with the panel.
