#HousingFirst
This afternoon, we were back at #CAEH24—the National Conference for Ending Homelessness—for another session. This time, we co-presented with our colleagues from @OptionsBytown and @uOttawa on a new community-building pilot project. 🧵
Did you miss the May 7th International #HousingFirst Series webinar featuring experts from @P3Charity,
@OptionsBytown, & @shipshey?

Well-deserved recognition @SamTsemberis for developing a transformative program and demonstrating through research that it’s incredibly effective at ending #chronichomelessness. Thanks @DeborahPadgett5 for your contribution & efforts at disseminating it #HousingFirst
Sam Tsemberis is the founder of Housing First (and now in Time Magazine's100). Proud to have been one small part of this paradigm shift (and to co-author the book on it.). To achieve this in NYC makes it all the more amazing.

Geoff Nelson & I argue in an Op-Ed @OttawaCitizen that the effectiveness of additional $$$ for the CHB in reducing chronic #homelessness depends on targeted recipients, amount of rent subsidies, & whether it’s combined with support. #HousingFirst
Thanks @ShaneDPhillips for the opportunity to discuss research on #HousingFirst including the findings from the Canadian At Home / Chez Soi trial on the @UCLA Housing Voice podcast.
Part 6 in our Pathways Home series is out today. We spoke with Tim Aubry about At Home/Chez Soi, a five-city study of the Housing First model for assisting chronically homeless people with severe mental illnesses. It worked pretty damn well. https://t.co/uAKqqoBZNC
Dr. Susan Farrell engaged in an enriching conversation with Dr. Tsemberis, followed by a dynamic Q&A featuring experts like Leif Harris, @CatharineV, and Dr. @TimAubry.
Après la cérémonie, Susan Farrell s'est engagée dans une conversation enrichissante avec le @SamTsemberis, suivie d'une séance de questions et réponses dynamique à laquelle ont participé des experts tels que Leif Harris, @CatharineV et Dr. @TimAubry.
Now for a panel discussion led by John Syvestre with Catharine Vandelinde, executive director at Options Bytown; Dr. @TimAubry, leading homelessness researcher with @CRSEC_CRECS at @uOttawa; and Leif Harris, CMHA Ottawa #HousingFirst tenant and Carleton anthropology student.
@uOttawaEdu My condolences to his family and friend. He was a true academic, passionate about his teaching and research. UOttawa was a better place because of him and he will be missed.
Thanks to Lanark County, @ElleHalliday and @UnitedWayEO for the invitation to talk about rural homelessness on World Homelessness Day. Lots of excellent work being done by dedicated people to #endhomelessness
Rural homelessness is often invisible and “programs work best when the mental health system is involved.” says @TimAubry, Professor at @UniversityofOttawa and Co-Chair of the @CanadianHousingFirstNetwork. With @ElleHalladay at the rural homelessness conference @UnitedWayEO
@JinoDistasio Keep it up Jino! The evidence is overwhelming that we can end homelessness for most people by supporting them to move into housing first. Transformative changes to their lives happen after that!
Congrats to @AydaAgha for her 1st author publication in CJUR examining the prevalence of chronic #homelessness based on different Canadian definitions using data from the Health and Housing in Transition longitudinal study collected in 3 cities https://t.co/VV3AEutbXj
