Idea Submission for The People's Money:
Training for staff who work with unhoused people to provide more compassionate and mental health informed practices into their work with folks experiencing homelessness. This would paired with a program that hires people with lived experience in these same settings.
What is the problem your idea aims to address?
Unhoused folks need more support; staff could be better trained to be more supportive and caring to them approach. Too much abuse of power in these settings.
Which groups does your idea focus on? Select all that apply
