Overview
Youth may experience many barriers when seeking stable housing. Supports are available to help youth, but it is unclear which programs and supports are consistently impactful over the journey to stable housing.
This is a pan-Canadian study that is interviewing youth who have experienced homelessness to understand their journeys and make recommendations about how best to assist youth to attain and remain in stable housing. These interviews will take place over the course of two years to gain insight into the short-, medium-, and long-term outcomes of housing transitions. Foundry and Foundry Vancouver-Granville are supporting this project for the Vancouver site.
The national study is led by Dr. Tyler Frederick (Associate Professor at Ontario Tech University), with leadership from Dr. Skye Barbic (Head Scientist at Foundry and Associate Professor at University of British Columbia) for the Vancouver site. Thank you to Foundry Vancouver-Granville for their participation as the Vancouver site.
