York University
The Homeless Hub
The Homeless Hub is an innovative research library and information center focusing on homelessness issues in Canada. Building on the success of the Canadian Conference on Homelessness, held at York University (2005), the Homeless Hub represents a new approach to sharing information and research on homelessness. As a one-stop-shop, the Homeless Hub is a place where community services providers, researchers, government representatives, people who have experienced homelessness and the general public can access and share research, stories, and best practices. Based on a partnership between York University, the Government of Canada and a range of community partners from across the country, The Homeless Hub provides an opportunity for people and organizations to better understand, develop and promote creative and collaborative responses to homelessness and housing instability
