Family Housing Instability: Complex Interplay of Housing, Child Welfare & Criminal Justice

Speakers from the ICS and Root & Rebound discuss the ongoing issue of housing instability in Greenville County, and the particular impact this issue has on families who are involved with the criminal justice and/or child welfare systems. As professionals who do not work directly in housing services – but who work with families facing crisis – this session aims to:

• Define homelessness in an inclusive way, including what homelessness “looks” like for families in the Upstate;
• Highlight how housing instability interacts with many of the issues that families may be referred to for assistance with; &
• Identify available resources for assistance that providers may not already be aware of.
