This workshop highlights a collaborative approach between the developer\, city\, service provider\, and Continuum of Care to keep families rooted in their neighborhoods and children connected to their home schools. Panelists will share how a flexible\, blended referral process\, developed in partnership with the local school district and homeless shelters\, helped identify qualifying families with the common goal of maintaining long-term stability. Their coordinated model supported successful transitions into permanent supportive housing\, sustained housing stability\, and consistent school attendance\, demonstrating what it takes for families to truly thrive.  \n\n\n\nPanelists \n\n\n\n\nSarah Bontrager\, Manager\, Housing and Public Services Community Development\, City of Elk Grove \n\n\n\nRachel Roguski\, Director of Supportive Housing and Health Services\, LifeSTEPS\n\n\n\nMiguel Jacquez\, Assistant Vice President\, The John Stewart Company\n\n\n\n\nModerator\n\n\n\n\nBruce Kuban\, Training Specialist\, LifeSTEPS \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPanel 2: A New Day for Affordable Housing: Streamlining Approvals\, Financing\, and Cross-Agency Coordination \n\n\n\n11:20 a.m. – 12:20 p.m. \n\n\n\nCalifornia is undergoing a major transformation in how it finances affordable housing.
