HHRC (Homeless and Housing Resource Center) is a free training and resource center for housing and health professionals. The site states that it is funded by the U.S. Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) and operated by Policy Research, Inc. Its goal is to promote housing stability, recovery, and reductions in homelessness through training in evidence-based practices. It is not an agency that provides direct housing assistance to individuals, but rather a national training and technical assistance resource platform.
The platform focuses on homelessness services, housing stability, serious mental illness, serious emotional disturbance, substance use disorders, and people with co-occurring conditions. Learning formats include self-paced online courses, free webinars, recordings, toolkits, practice briefs, fact sheets, and video resources. Courses include reflection activities and emphasize turning training into frontline practice. The topics are highly practical, covering areas such as eviction prevention, low-barrier shelter, health needs in encampment outreach, overdose prevention, and linkage to substance use disorder treatment.
A major advantage of HHRC is that it is free. The site explicitly states that online courses, webinars, and learning communities are offered at no cost/free. After completing an online course, learners can receive a Certificate of Completion, and continuing education units (CEUs) are available through the National Association of Social Workers (NASW), with the number of credits varying by course length. Note that webinars do not offer CEUs; they only provide a certificate of participation after the post-event evaluation is completed.
The strengths are its clear public funding background, relatively high credibility, self-paced courses with no time limit for access, and the ability to revisit materials and certificates after completion. The resource formats are diverse, making it suitable for internal organizational training and quick reference by frontline staff. The main drawback is that the content is clearly grounded in the U.S. service system and policy context, so it would need adaptation for China’s local housing assistance, social assistance, and mental health service settings. In addition, the primary language is English, and there is no visible information about Chinese-language courses or Chinese subtitles.
HHRC is best suited for social workers, housing service providers, behavioral health practitioners, homelessness service organizations, low-income housing operators, and program staff serving people with SMI, SED, SUD, or COD. If a user is looking for personal housing assistance, HHRC is not a direct service channel.
The collected text does not provide information on access stability from mainland China, so this remains unknown. Even if the site is accessible, Chinese users should consider the language barrier, the applicability of U.S. certifications, and differences in policy context.
