Webinar on Stand Down Development
March 3, 2014 at 2:00 p.m. EST
Starting with the first Stand Down in San Diego in 1988, Stand Down events have continued the mission of providing a “hand up, not hand out” to homeless veterans in local communities. Learn how to contribute to this mission by supporting a Stand Down in your community.
On March 3 at 2:00 p.m. EST, NCHV’s TA Center will host a webinar training on the Stand Down program, focusing on an introduction to Stand Down development and planning. This training will provide an introduction to Stand Downs, an overview of the different types and classifications of Stand Down events, and an outline of the major partners necessary for a successful event.
Participants will learn where to find more information on local events, about funding and donation resources, and about the various guidebooks and tools available to community partners. This training provides the foundation for the “Stand Down Financing” webinar on March 10.
HVRP grantees and their partners interested in learning more about development of a Stand Down are encouraged to participate in this training. Community partners wanting to support local Stand Down events and current Stand Down organizers expanding or improving existing events should participate.

Webinar on Stand Down Financing
March 10, 2014 at 2:00 p.m. EDT
Stand Down events across the country create an access point for homeless veterans and their families seeking services. To be effective, Stand Down organizers leverage partners within the community to help match the needs of veterans to available resources. While Stand Downs vary widely in structure and services, all Stand Down events require budget planning and fundraising to support activities.
On March 10 at 2:00 p.m. EDT, the National Coalition for Homeless Veterans (NCHV) is hosting a webinar training on the Stand Down program, focusing on financing and coordinated services. This training will outline the application process for DOL-VETS HVRP Stand Down grants, provide methods for engaging the VA Medical Center in your Stand Down, and describe the major partnerships necessary for a successful event.
Organizations participating in or planning their first Stand Down events are encouraged to participate in the NCHV TA Center training Webinar “Stand Down Development” on March 3. Participants in “Stand Down Financing” should include HVRP grantees and their partners, other Stand Down organizers, and community partners interested in filling in gaps between veteran needs and available services. State workforce agencies, state and local workforce investment boards, veterans service organizations (VSOs), local public agencies, and nonprofit organizations, including community- and faith-based organizations that anticipate applying for Stand Down funds, are encouraged to participate.
