Canada Homelessness Conference
There is a Canadian Homelessness Conference on May 17 to 20th, that looks interesting. Unfortunately, its already fully booked - but people who are interested may be able to get copies of the proceedings and recordings (CDs) of the presentations.
The conference home page says:
The Canadian Conference on Homelessness is a national, cross-sectoral and interdisciplinary forum for sharing and collaboration in order to explore the links between research and action, and to move towards effective long-term solutions in homelessness issues. The conference is meant to be inclusive, integrating the experiences and perspectives of all stakeholders and sectors, including researchers, policy makers, service providers, and individuals who are homeless or at-risk of being homeless. Those attending the conference will be provided with an exciting opportunity to explore how research can better contribute to policies and programs that address issues of homelessness.
As the issues of homelessness continue to exist, the time is right to bring together researchers of all stripes into one forum. We are encouraging collaboration during and after the conference, to identify and address any gaps in the current knowledge. This conference will provide an opportunity to make research matter, to use research on homelessness to help shape policy and practice, and work towards developing effective solutions to end homelessness in Canada.
Bringing together groups and individuals who work on homelessness issues into one forum will create the means to explore opportunities to further develop effective programs and long-term solutions for homelessness.
We invite researchers, policy makers, practitioners and people who are, or have been homeless, to meet in Toronto May 2005 to share and discuss their recent research and experience.
