Dear Urban colleagues and friends,

We are delighted to invite you to the Red Cross Red Crescent Urban  Collab Virtual Conference 2021 taking place on 24-26^th of November 2021.

This year, we are proud to co-host the conference with the German Red Cross, and with the generous support of the German Federal Foreign Office.  

As the 2021 Urban Collaboration Platform Conference edition is virtual this year, we are looking forward to your active participation during an event scheduled across all time zones (8AM-8 PM  CET).

In these intense times - full of opportunity and urgency - we must turn conversation into deeper action. This event is a milestone to learn from each other and our partners and connect to city stakeholders to scale the solutions to meet climate targets, while at the same time ensuring communities are resilient to future shocks and stresses.

The themes identified for our conference are:

• Hidden Vulnerabilities in Expanding Cities 
• Preparing, Assisting and Responding in Cities 
• Future of Cities: Innovative Urban Solutions we see

 

Please click here to register for the Collab. More details to follow on the agenda will be available closer to the date.

We encourage you to share this among colleagues who wish to be part of our UCP network to {share, connect, engage} on urban matters.

Looking very much forward to connecting with you all,

Sandra and Wolfgang

SAMHSA's PATH Program Supports Services for People Experiencing Homelessness November is Homeless Awareness Month and SAMHSA is doing its part to fill gaps within existing community resources playing a crucial role in communities’ strategic plans to end homelessness. In fiscal year 2020, SAMHSA’s Projects for Assistance in Transition from Homelessness (PATH) grantees enrolled 60,000 individuals and connected nearly 40,000 to community mental health services. Nearly 40% of these individuals reported co-occurring disorders and approximately 39% of these individuals were experiencing chronic homelessness. The PATH program was created to reduce or eliminate homelessness for individuals with serious mental illnesses and/or co-occurring substance use disorders, who are experiencing homelessness or are at imminent risk of becoming homeless. More on the PATH 2020 Annual Report Data is available at: https://pathpdx.samhsa.gov/public?tab=searchdatareports
