About Andrew Spiers
I\'m a solutions-focused social worker with 18 years of experience in non-profits serving individuals experiencing homelessness and managing co-occurring disorders. I have 15 years of experience creating and delivering custom training, technical assistance, and consulting on the Housing First model, harm reduction, and service delivery best practices for vulnerable populations, including LGBTQ+ and BIPOC communities. My approach is highly collaborative, and I\'m often recognized for my ability to develop strong relationships and plan strategically in a fast-paced environment. I excel at facilitating large scale convenings and strategically linking experts to solve problems.
