Dear Colleague,

 

We are writing to let you know about new web-based resources launched by the
Homeless Hub (www.homelesshub.ca <http://www.homelesshub.ca/> ) to support
those interested in, or engaged in pandemic planning in the homelessness
sector.

 

The recent emergence of H1N1 has made clear the necessity for a focused
pandemic plan that addresses the special needs of those who are homeless.
In Canada and across the United States governments and service providers
have created pandemic plans for the homelessness sector.  What is needed is
a coordinated effort to bring these resources together in one accessible
space.

 

The Homeless Hub team proudly introduces "The Pandemic Planning and
Homelessness Research Network" (www.homelesshub.net
<http://www.homelesshub.net/> ).  As an extension of the Homeless Hub this
network allows people who are interested in homelessness and pandemic
planning to come together in a collaborative on-line environment.  This
dynamic website features a library of resources and documents from
governments and community agencies that can be accessed from one
user-friendly site.  Researchers, service providers, government officials
and others are invited to share information and documents, participate in
discussion forums, and collaborate on strategies to minimize the likelihood
and impact of the spread of infectious disease among people who are
homeless.

 

To join simply visit http://homelesshub.apps01.yorku.ca/network/cphrt,
register and request membership.  Once your membership has been confirmed
you will gain access to a large collection of pandemic plans, community
documents, research articles, guides and best practices, and news articles
from Canada and around the world.

 

For further information please contact Kristy Buccieri at
kristy_buccieri at edu.yorku.ca.  We hope you will join us in this
collaborative space to learn from others and to share your knowledge and
experiences.

 

Sincerely,

The Homeless Hub Team
