DESCRIPTION: JOIN US! Gender-Based Violence Housing and Homelessness Collaborative: An In-Person Meeting\nOctober 15, 2024\n2:30 pm – 4:30 pm\nYWCA Phillis Wheatley Branch \n2820 E Cherry St Seattle 98122\n \nThis event is co-hosted by the Coalition Ending Gender-Based Violence, the City of Seattle Human Services Department, and the King County Regional Homelessness Authority.\nHousing System navigators, advocates, and case managers are encouraged to attend!\nLight refreshments will be provided. ASL Interpreters will be present.\n \nJoin us for the first meeting of this new collaborative effort! This group aims to include a wide range of perspectives from housing providers, GBV community-based and sytems advocates, funders, and other adjacent systems in order to better meet the needs of survivors who are homeless or experiencing housing instability. By breaking down silos, we are better positioned to address systemic barriers faced by survivors and build strategies that are not only survivor-driven and prioritize the self-determination of survivors, but also focus on prevention and address the root causes of both homelessness and gender-based violence. \nCome build relationships, share resources, and work together to make recommendations about how to holistically support survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, and commercial sexual exploitation and trafficking. \nJourney Mapping: we will be mapping the experiences of survivors as they navigate our specific systems and programs. Come prepared with 2-3 client scenarios that exemplify your agency's sub-population expertise and convey the paths your clients navigate.\n   Breakout groups will be by sub-population: you will work alongside other agency participants who serve the same GBV sub-population (i.e. Trans/Two Spirit, Commercial Sexual Exploitation, Families etc.).  You can best prepare for this by calling to mind 2-3 client scenarios which you feel exemplify both a.) your agency’s sub-population expertise and b.) will best convey the journey of clients within your area of expertise.\n\n  Why Journey Mapping? Journey mapping is an exercise that helps us to visualize a client’s journey through homelessness. This communal mapping process will help us to capture the many threads of GBV Homelessness response system that contributes to its overall landscape and current state. Journey Mapping serves to highlight critical intersections, gaps as well as opportunities for capacity building. \n\n  What is our goal? Our aim is to leave this gathering with a clearer understanding of the many different identities and situations of which survivors enter homelessness, are cycled through and/or bridged out of homelessness, so that, we may strengthen our coalition’s work to improve its overall functioning and health. We all know that there is a malnourished, complex web of services that survivors must interact with, and that the threads of this web must be better understood, coordinated and invested in. Our goal as a GBV-Homelessness Collaborative, is to help inform our government agencies, so that they can not only plan better but also invest better. This exercise will direct us all as to how to move towards improved collaboration across systems, future-state visioning and advocacy. \n \nFor questions and accommodations, contact Hannah@endgv.org or Michelle.Smith2@seattle.gov.\n \n \n\nFor details, click here: https://endgv.secure.nonprofitsoapbox.com/component/events/event/140
