Stronger Together: Building a Coordinated Homelessness Response

Empowering providers to connect, collaborate, and create lasting housing solutions.

About the Program

ChangeLine (the PPCoC’s lead agency) is helping direct service providers strengthen our community’s homelessness response system through effective diversion strategies, motivational interviewing, and data-informed decision-making.

Stronger Together is a free, multi-part training and support program designed to help direct service providers identify and implement safe, appropriate alternatives to shelter entry.

Through expert-led trainings, practical tools, and ongoing technical assistance, participating agencies will learn how to integrate diversion into daily practice, track outcomes in HMIS, and strengthen coordination across the community.
