As part of our consulting services, the Institute makes available to clients a library of tools and resources for program planning, design, implementation and evaluation. Many of these tools have been developed by Beyond Shelter over the years, while some tools have been collected from other service providers with proven track records in addressing homelessness, chronic poverty, and/or welfare dependency. These tools include: • Sample case management, housing and employment forms • Marketing materials for landlords and property management companies • Examples of innovative rental subsidy programs • Tenant education curricula • Sample inter-agency MOUs and referral procedures for agencies to Housing First programs The following resources, which include presentations and papers, are offered as a public benefit to individuals and agencies interested in further education and information on topics related to Beyond Shelter's key program methodologies, and "housing first" or rapid re-housing in particular.
