Workshop Series 1
"Preparing Disability Claims"
presented in partnership with the Social Security Administration
UHHP is coordinating training for homeless services providers offered by Social Security Administration (SSA) and the state Disability Determination Services (DDS). In addition, we have designed new training modules to supplement the SSA/DDS training. Our efforts are to increase the quality and acceptance rate of disability applications submitted on behalf of homeless residents in Los Angeles County.
This training is designed to replicate the type of training and support received by providers involved in Los Angeles County's partnership with JWCH Institute (B.E.S.T. Program). The B.E.S.T. program has generated an acceptance rate of more than 90% approval of disability applications submitted since its inception.
The 4 Workshops are:
- Steps to Successful Disability Applications - Introductory Course
- Steps to Successful Disability Applications - Advanced Course
- Learn to Master the Application with Social Security
- Documenting Disabilities for Clinicians **This training has been postponed. The new date will be announced shortly.**
Workshop Series 2
"Integrating FQHC Health Care Services with Permanent Supportive Housing in Los Angeles"
presented in partnership with the Corporation for Supportive Housing
This series of three workshops are designed to assist Supportive/Affordable Housing Developers and FQHC’s partner together to ensure that health care services are available to individuals and families residing in supportive housing. UHHP and CSH would like to foster the development of health care/housing projects throughout Los Angeles County. We anticipate that graduates of the workshops series will have the practical tools necessary to move to the next phase of project development. Throughout the series we will encourage natural alliances and help organizations develop the tools to “operationalize” this type of project.
Who should attend this training?
Executive Management, Program Directors, Program managers and staff of Permanent Supportive Housing/Affordable Housing Development Agencies and Federally Qualified Health Centers that are interested in partnering together to provide physical, mental and substance abuse care to individuals and families residing in supportive/affordable housing. The series was designed particularly for organizations that are considering or are currently in the planning phases of developing a project of this type.
Cohort Design
This series is designed to encourage partnerships and invite the development of new projects in Los Angeles County. There will be significant time allotted for group work. We therefore encourage service partners to attend the training together and we ask that each member of the cohort commit to attending the entire series of workshops in the sequence listed below.
Complete descriptions of the workshops can be found here...
Integrating FQHC Health Care Services with
Permanent Supportive Housing in Los Angeles
UHHP, in collaboration with the Corporation for Supportive Housing, is delighted to announce the publication and availability to download “Integrating FQHC Health Care Services with Permanent Supportive Housing in Los Angeles.” In addition to the pdf version that can be downloaded here, printed copies of the guide can be ordered on the CSH web site (www.csh.org).
The guide focuses on four areas:
- Setting Foundations: Understanding Each Other’s Business
- Three Program Models In Los Angeles
- Developing Service Partnerships
- "Operationalizing" It All
The guide was developed specifically for Los Angeles housing, health care, and other service providers. It is based on leading practices in partnering these organizations to ensure the high level of services required for permanent supportive housing. A training program covering the information in the guide is underdevelopment. UHHP is collecting an interest list for the training on our web site (www.uhhpla.org). Please see below for more information.
We’d love to have your feedback on the guide. Drop a note to info@uhhpla.org with your questions, comments, and suggestions.

Home For Good
The Action Plan to End Chronic and Veteran Homelessness by 2016
Home For Good is a blueprint to end chronic and veteran homelessness in L.A. County by building the most efficient and effective system in our region's history. It's a plan meant not simply to put an end to someone's life on the streets. Rather, it is designed to provide homes as a means to an individual's vital integration into our communities.
UHHP wishes to acknowledge Roger Marshutz for the use of his images (which have been altered for UHHP's design needs) through the UHHP website.
