“If you ask any person what led them to #homelessness, it could be any number of things... The solution always starts with housing. However, youth also need supports to help them transition to adulthood and thrive. This is Housing First for Youth #HF4Y.” -Cora MacDonald
🧵THREAD: It’s no secret that Canada has a housing #affordability crisis, but the cost of living in Vancouver is exceptionally high. In their research, Marie Cecile Kotyk and team found that Black Canadians in Vancouver spend over 70% of their income on rent. 1/3
NEW RESOURCE: These resources were developed to help service providers understand what #YouthHomelessness diversion, or “shelter diversion”, services are. Check them out on the #HLHub: bit.ly/3QDQ0gD
Day 2 at #CAEH23 is here! We're energized and inspired by the discussions, connections, and shared commitment to #EndHomelessness. Don't miss our engaging sessions today—check our schedule image for details.
“The biggest challenge with Permanent Supportive Housing in Canada is that everybody wants, it but nobody owns it, in terms of policy. There’s no funding.” #CAEH23 #AffordableHousing
Success in the Family & Natural Supports program is unique for every youth. In her presentation, COH researcher Seyi emphasizes the need for recognizing and valuing the diverse nature of success in social programs dealing with complex human situations. #CAEH23 #prevention
Brianna, a former HF4Y and Aftercare program participant, shared how difficult it is to access supports when a youth ages out of being able to access “youth” services. She adds, “Transitioning from youth to adult services is like a slap in the face." #CAEH23 #YouthHomelessness
💡 Inspiring words from COH team members at #CAEH23: “As long as gendered services exist, there will need to be special attention paid to the inclusion of trans and gender non-conforming people. Trans inclusion will be a reality as long as we remain committed to it!”
"To develop a prevention-based response to #homelessness, we need to focus on youth and their pathways into homelessness." Stay tuned for key learnings from this afternoon's insightful session on #YouthHomelessness prevention! #CAEH23
COH Researcher Nathan Okonta highlights a key consideration for research among Black youth: "I had to be intentional in having conversations and building relationships with youth, rather than conducting interviews, to learn their stories." #CAEH23
Day 1 at #CAEH2023 kicks off today! We're thrilled to be able to learn, collaborate, and take steps towards ending homelessness with you. Check out today's schedule for our streams in the image below. Let's make a difference together! #EndHomelessness
