On Friday January 24, 2014, Abt Associates hosted a webinar panel of some of the nation's leading experts from federal and state agencies and policy organizations -- including TAC's Executive Director Kevin Martone -- to explore ways that community-based housing linked to health services can better serve the most vulnerable populations.

Olmstead implementation that employs new financing opportunities will require better coordination and integration across the health and housing sectors for people with complex needs.
