• Abstract:
  The primary objective of this educational project was to improve the personal mobility of homeless individuals experiencing transportation and other disadvantage in Tarrant County Texas by developing effective ecological-based equity training of the homeless workforce involved in their care. This project resulted in a nationally accessible online training series (housed within Tarrant County Homeless Coalition’s learning management system) for member agencies, individuals supporting local homeless coalitions, and the local community. Through the collaborative partnership between the University of Texas at Arlington, Georgia Institute of Technology, and Tarrant County Homeless Coalition, targeted training for each institutional level was developed, including for directors, program managers, frontline staff, and community members. This project was completed under CTEDD’s Focus Area 3 on community and workforce development to educate the homeless workforce in its efforts to improve mobility through a social equity and ecology framework.
