[homeles_ot-l] Study on COVID-19 and Homelessness

[Benjamin Roebuck]

The Alliance to End Homelessness has partnered with researchers from the Victimology Research Centre at Algonquin College to better understand how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected the homelessness sector in Ottawa. The research is funded by SSHRC and has received ethics approval from Algonquin College, with secondary approval from Carleton University.

Phase 1 of the study has just been completed and involved interviews with service providers about system responses to homelessness.

Our Request

Phase 2 will include a survey, interviews, and focus groups with people who have experienced homelessness during the pandemic. Interviews and focus groups will be co-facilitated with peer researchers who have undertaken facilitator training.

We would greatly appreciate it if you would consider hanging our recruitment poster in your drop-in space, and/or posting it to your social media.

If you would like us to drop off hard copies of the poster or if you have a space on-site where we could conduct interviews, please email our centre: vrc at algonquincollege.com

The poster is attached here as PDF and provided as a PNG.

Thank you for all you are doing to support people through the pandemic.
