Network's structure
With the Department of Housing Services facilitating the lead role, Washington County's Housing and Supportive Services Network (HSSN) has established itself as a vital networking and educational resource for homeless services in the metro region.
The group is largely composed of representatives from direct service providers, homeless/formerly homeless consumers, advocates, business, nonprofit, and public agencies who share a commitment to developing a system of care to support people at risk or experiencing homelessness.
