2008 Social Housing and Homelessness Conference 

September 23-25, 2008

Renaissance Toronto Airport Hotel

801 Dixon Road, Toronto

 

We invite Social Housing Service Managers, shelter providers, and community
agencies to join us for the 2008 Forum on Social Housing and Homelessness.

This forum is being organized by the Ontario Municipal Social Services
Association (OMSSA), the Service Manager Housing Network (SMHN) and the
Ontario Association of Hostels (OAH).

Delegates who deliver municipal social housing and homelessness services as
well as shelter and hostel representatives from across Ontario can expect to
come away from this forum with tools, 

resources and concrete examples of partnerships, as well as a renewed sense
of the importance of collaboration as they pursue the goal of healthy
communities and a home for all Ontarians.

This year’s conference is intended to promote an increased understanding of
the relationship between social housing and homelessness programs and afford
delegates an opportunity to discuss issues 

relating to policy and program administration.  We hope that you will join
your colleagues from across the province for this important forum, which
will provide you with new insights, new enthusiasm and an increased capacity
to continue your very important work.
