@ianbremmer You’re presumably aware that Vermont has been ravaged by floods the last two years running? But a great state no doubt!

@viscidula @ryjodo @Alliance4RR Well done! Congratulations to this powerful team!

[Dan Herman @danbherman]

@BrianLehrer Hoping you can put together a balanced discussion of the recently approved and controversial changes to NYC union retirement health plan. So far, the WNYC coverage as been limited to views of Michael Mulgrew who is a strong supporter.

@bencattellnoll Hi Ben! Still here but about to jump ship. Heading for https://t.co/Rwd8TKPkhz

@SandyMacDonald @JeffreyButts I only had to wait a week or so.

@DavidFBrand @WNYC @Gothamist Congratulations David!

[Dan Herman @danbherman]

Congratulations @SarahNarendorf! I look forward to working with you and the whole team on this important project.

Just got word that my grant to develop mental health supports for youth in rapid rehousing was funded by NIMH!! So excited to develop this intervention and work with an amazing team @PrinceHayward @MMunsonPhD @danbherman @diane_santa @CovenantHouseTX @UH_SocialWork @GCSWHEARLab

[Dan Herman @danbherman]

@jrovner @nytimes Me too. Probably decades!

[Dan Herman @danbherman]

Expansion of these services is needed, along with a plan for growing the number of trained and adequately compensated workers required to make the programs run.

@KellyMDoran Excellent piece. So disappointing that the Adams administration is pursuing a new “policy” that is bound to fail.

[Dan Herman @danbherman]

@adamofbruce Clearly well-trained!

[Dan Herman @danbherman]

@JeffreyButts I will!

@haroldpollack Thanks Harold!

[Dan Herman @danbherman]

@DavidFBrand Looking for you on Mastodon!

[Dan Herman @danbherman]

@KellyMDoran @Cella65 @HealthBegins @NYCDSSCommr @myunglee @ashvasnyc @NYDailyNews Yes! The effectiveness of this approach has been clear for many years. Sadly the commitment to taking it to scale-along with the provision of necessary supportive services-is whats lacking!

[Dan Herman @danbherman]

@KellyMDoran See ya on Mastadon?

[Dan Herman @danbherman]

@KeithNHumphreys Sigh...As I know from my work, limited availability of services to link to is a common problem, but it sounds like these failures may go well beyond.

[Dan Herman @danbherman]

@KellyMDoran @DeborahPadgett5 Regardless of level of support offered, most salient is idea that housing is offered regardless of 'readiness' or other individual prerequisites, presumably w/o requirement to accept treatment or demonstrate abstinence from substance use. @DeborahPadgett5-correct me as needed!

[Dan Herman @danbherman]

@KellyMDoran @DeborahPadgett5 A long overdue development no doubt. IMHO, there is a fair amount of confusion about what "Housing First" actually entails. The 'original' model provided intensive ACT team services while this one, as described, sounds more like a supportive SRO--a room with on-site supports 1/2
