The Academy will provide a place to share your learning and learn from others in Scotland, Europe and beyond, and contribute to a growing community of practice. We seek to drive momentum and to promote good practice as Housing First evolves in Scotland.
The Academy will act as a link between Housing First services and partner agencies. It will also act as a conduit to create a flow of information to and from the Housing First Europe Hub, of which Turning Point Scotland are a founding member.
