Greetings,<br>
<br>
The Canadian Observatory on Homelessness (COH) is looking to hire one enthusiastic and highly motivated Research Assistant (RA) to assist with Phase One of the Making the Shift demonstration project. The goals of this groundbreaking project are to develop
and test prevention-related and Housing First for Youth interventions with young people who are experiencing homeless or are at-risk of experiencing homelessness, and to build an evidence base to inform sound public policy and investment that will help young
people gain housing stability and increase their employment and education participation and success. Phase One is being delivered by a partnership between A Way Home Canada, the COH, MaRS Centre for Impact Investment, two provinces (Ontario and Alberta), and
dozens of community partners.</div>

This RA position is a great opportunity for someone looking to gain experience with community-based research with youth, learn data collection processes such as survey administration and interviewing, and be a part of an interdisciplinary research team. It's
also ideal for a Master's- or PhD-level student completing their studies in a research- or clinical-based social science program. We strongly encourage individuals with lived experience of homelessness to apply. <br>
