In the @UNHABITAT@WUF_UNHabitat ‘From Crisis Response to Systems Change: Addressing Homelessness in Canada and Abroad’ session, we discussed #homelessness in the context of federal systems, with contributions from Canada, Germany, @OECD, and IGH. #WUF13
At the same time, cities and devolved administrations were recognized as important sites of innovation, with influential responses such as Housing First, prevention duties, and coordinated entry systems often emerging locally before shaping wider national policy.
