Community Table Training Series

Sponsored by Anthem Medicaid

The Coalition for the Homeless is proud to partner with Anthem Medicaid to offer a year-long, bi-weekly training series for case managers and others working with our neighbors facing homelessness and housing insecurity. Each webinar will take place at noon on the 1st and 3rd Wednesday of the month—with some exceptions in April—from July 2022 through June 2023. Sessions will be led by experts in their field who present through a trauma-informed, racial equity lens.
