One set of roundtables will address street outreach best practices; this year we are also encouraging roundtable discussions for various regions in Texas and other participating areas. At this forum, participants will engage in peer-to-peer dialogue, share information and best practices, and explore a variety of outreach strategies targeting different populations. They will also discuss local challenges and solutions related to outreach.
