Canadian Alliance to End Homelessness

Learning Sessions are held two times a year. The purpose of Learning Sessions is to foster an intentional, interactive, and inspirational environment for participating Built for Zero (BFZ-C) communities to lean into learning and planning and to reaffirm their commitment to reducing and ending chronic and/or veteran homelessness. Communities come together to ground their local teams in the BFZ-C approach, lean into improvement, celebrate progress, learn from each other, and to develop plans for the next Action Cycle.

How To Effectively Communicate Data About Homelessness

How can it be true that both 22% of homeless people and 60% of homeless people are experiencing chronic homelessness? Join us as we explore some of the mysteries that are homelessness data statistics! We’ll talk about the differences between PIT count data and annual data. We’ll re-learn means and medians, and what that means for the length of time people spend homeless. We’ll also demonstrate the importance of providing comparative data.s.

Collecting the Right Data

Trying to collect too much data is a losing battle: you’ll have low completeness for a lot of data points, which means you don’t have enough data to make informed decisions about anything. On the other hand, collecting less data with a clear purpose can result in better, more accurate data, and improved service delivery. ACRE Consulting will present on the theory of data collection, while Hamilton will focus on applying this theory in practice: how we decided what was important and not important to collect, how we implemented the change, successes and challenges, lessons learned, and next steps.
