Hey kids! We won!

If you’re interested in this project addressing youth homelessness, stay tuned. We will be launching this report next month.

This Lab developed a set of key architectural design principles and solutions that could inform future built-for-purpose transitional housing sites for youth who are homeless or at risk of being homeless across Canada, with a focus on youth aging out of the child welfare system.

HAPPENING NOW: WoodGreen is hosting the @CMHC_ca Solutions Lab Symposium. It’s a virtual room packed with interdisciplinary experts discussing the findings for our final research report on youth transitioning housing.

Touchstones of Hope Dialogue series continues January 22, 2020 with Non-Discrimination. Our very own @cblackst will be speaking to the case on child welfare and Jordan's Principle! Stay tuned for further panelist announcements and register here: buff.ly/3mwmK9z
