Moving towards data for prevention in the homelessness sector

Despite significant efforts and improvements in the advancement of data collection and integration, data infrastructure in the homelessness sector in Canada is not designed to support prevention efforts. Instead, it is built to respond to the immediate crisis of managing persons who are currently homeless. This webinar is an opportunity for researchers, service providers, advocates, and policymakers to learn about the importance of moving towards data for prevention in the homelessness sector, and how we can leverage technology and data to better understand and prevent youth homelessness.

Join Michael Lenczner, Founding Director of Powered by Data, Matt Parker, VP of Innovation of HelpSeeker, and Robyn Blackadar, President & CEO of PolicyWise in this lively discussion about the importance of building and harmonizing data infrastructure in Canada to support homelessness prevention efforts and the immediate steps that can be taken to make this a reality.
