Chat Messages with Peer-to-Peer Tips and Ideas of Pathways to Collaboration

• Identify common goals to collaborate on solutions. Look at areas where our clients 

overlap and see where cross-sector touchpoints can be made.

• Demonstrate how services can help partners achieve their identified goals.

o Need to take the time, before a crisis, to learn about each other’s strengths 

and areas that can benefit from collaboration.

o Consider embedding resources into other collaborating organizations.

• Partnerships require transparency and discussion of mutual barriers and 

opportunities. Must build trust to find alignment. Problem solving vs. competition.

• Engage in networking at conferences and trainings.

o Attend and network at community meetings. Seek community projects and 

partners.

• Expand your reach; ask for introductions to others through existing partners.

• Develop and maintain direct lines of communication with housing and healthcare 

partners.

o Reach out to them. Invite them to your meetings. Join committees, and bring 

other agencies into staff meetings to learn about each other.

o Meet regularly to identify what is and what is not working.

• Seek opportunities for cross-sector trainings. Educate yourself about who is doing 

business in your local service area.

• Bring professionals with housing backgrounds into long-term care services to bridge 

the sectors.

• Determine appropriate agreement types for partnerships. If formal, what 

documentation will hold parties accountable to roles and responsibilities?

Other Peer-to-Peer Chat Tips and Ideas Related to the Webinar Theme

• Bring developers into the accessibility conversation so they realize that building on a 

Universal Design basis, even if it only means wider doors and stronger ceiling beams 

for Hoyers etc., is not much more expensive.

• The New Hampshire Housing and Finance Authority will add extra points to the 

Qualified Allocation Plan for Low Income Housing for developers who go beyond the 

ADA standard and implement Universal Design. The new rule will be in the 2023-

2024 QAP.
