>From Homeless to Home

How do people become homeless?  How do they become stably housed?

 

Filmmaker: Jason Gondziola

 

Please join us at this open meeting for the screening and discussion

of a new documentary film about homelessness and housing in Ottawa.

 

In Ottawa, there has been a long-standing collaboration between Alliance to End Homelessness and area academics (at the University of Ottawa, Carleton University and St. Paul's University). Panel Study on Homelessness in Ottawa (in two phases from 2002-2005) was a key initiative of this collaboration.  From Homeless to Home popularizes the results of that study. The film is one of several communication tools created through a Project to share the study results with a broader audience than that typically targeted by academics. 

 

The project team - Tim Aubry (U of O), Fran Klodawsky and Josh Greenberg (Carleton) Lynne Browne (ATEH) and Brenda Gallagher (Consultant) - are pleased to present the film on May 15th. 

 

The following communication tools were produced in recognition that research must be translated into language and formats that are readily accessible for politicians, policy-makers and citizens. The tools will be available to assist agencies, partners and individuals as they work to end homelessness in our community -

 

o        A popular text version of the Panel Study on Homelessness in Ottawa - a 12 page booklet, also called From Homeless to Home,  that captures research findings for policy makers, decision makers and citizens.

 

o        Several tools to give a human voice to the research in order to bring the results to life in radio, film, text and internet friendly formats:

§         Excerpts from interviews with homeless individuals for the Alliance to End Homelessness web site and as insert in the 2007 Report Card on Ending Homelessness.

§         A radio documentary 

§         An on-line magazine article; and 

§         The film - From Homeless to Home

 

The Project was made possible with funding from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada through its Homelessness and Diversity Issues initiative. 

 

Note for May 15th - the film includes brief images of an individual injecting/using drugs. Anyone concerned about viewing such images may wish to leave the room for the film and return for the discussion afterward.
