About the Directory

The Directory is a way to map the communities, groups and networks doing work on homelessness and poverty-related issues in Canada.

Why is this important?
We know, based on our experiences, that there are many people all over the world researching, writing and producing knowledge on homelessness and poverty-related issues. However, the sector is fragmented, it's hard to figure out who's doing what and where, and people can find it challenging to connect outside their various fields and disciplines. The Directory will document the depth of the field globally and will facilitate interactions among academics, practitioners and policy-makers.
