Housing First 101
This is a collection of resources including practical guides for working with various populations in the Housing First framework.
Engaging People with Lived/Living Experience

It celebrates the potential that can be unlocked when these individuals are included and empowered to drive antipoverty work.
Canadian Housing First Toolkit
This toolkit is based on the experience of the Canadian At Home/Chez Soi project that used the Pathways to Housing model of Housing First for homeless people with mental illness. While the toolkit has a mental health focus because it is based on the At Home/Chez Soi experience, it is applicable to and can be adapted to other segments of the homeless population (e.g., youth, families), many of which also experience mental health challenges.
