2 What we re looking for The aim of the conference is to support and accelerate an end to homelessness in Canada. We want to equip conference attendees with information, tools and training they need to begin to end homelessness, which means we will be looking for presentations that: are consistent with a focus on ending homelessness and the principles of Housing First; are solutions focused (we can talk about problems, barriers and challenges, but bring the ideas and solutions too); give conference participants actionable knowledge; are innovative and interesting are high calibre; meet the needs of communities, organizations, leaders and front line workers who are at different stages on the road to ending homelessness (some are just starting out, others have been at it for a number of years) are new to the conference we don t want the same presentations every year Reconciliation Following on the report of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, the CAEH wants to begin to fulfil our role in reconciliation with Indigenous peoples by providing a forum with an environment of mutual respect and understanding. We encourage presenters to consider how presentations can relate to any of the recommendations of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission and honour Residential School Survivors and Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women. Got a better idea!? If you have an idea, presentation or session concept that does not necessarily fit in the categories outlined above, please feel free to submit a proposal anyway. There s always room for great ideas that move us toward ending homelessness in Canada. Questions If you have any questions relating to the call for presentations, please contact tim@caeh.ca Submitting a presentation proposal Completed submissions, or inquiries, should be sent to: trish@caeh.ca. The submission deadline is April 22, Authors will be notified of their acceptance in early June. No guarantees! Given the overwhelming response to our national conference call for proposals last year, we expect considerable interest in this year s conference and therefore we cannot promise all proposals will be accepted. 2

3 Leadership, planning and practice call for presentations The leadership, planning and practice section of our program is aimed at supporting senior leaders and front line workers in homeless systems across Canada in shifting from managing homelessness to ending it. We are inviting submissions on the following topics: The role of funders as leaders in ending homelessness Family homelessness Housing First and Permanent Supportive Housing for Aboriginal peoples Suicide intervention Case management for complex clients Understanding and responding to FASD Trauma informed care Key considerations in ending homelessness for LGBTQ individuals Addressing the unique challenges of rural and northern homelessness Preventing discharge from mainstream systems (foster care, jail, health care) into homelessness The evolving role of shelters in ending homelessness Housing strategies for people who are not successful in scattered site Housing First programs Engaging people with lived experience Models of peer support in Housing First Sex work and human trafficking Coordinated intake systems Community leadership in ending homelessness the critical role of the backbone organization The evolving role of the Community Entity and Community Advisory Board in a Housing First world Communication strategies for building public and political support for ending homelessness Models of harm reduction in permanent housing (scattered site or congregate) Managing community relationships The role of faith communities in ending homelessness Homeless Management Information Systems and the important role of data Other This is not an exclusive list of topics, please feel free to propose a concurrent session or presentation topic 3

4 Indigenous homelessness call for presentations First Nations, Métis, and Inuit peoples are overrepresented amongst homeless populations in most communities in Canada. Indigenous peoples become homeless and experience homelessness differently than other Canadians and are challenged by poverty, racism, loss of culture, colonialism, the legacy of Residential Schools and more. Following on the report of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, the CAEH wants to begin to fulfil our role in reconciliation with Indigenous peoples by providing a forum with an environment of mutual respect and understanding, where we can work together to end homelessness for Indigenous peoples. We are inviting submissions on: Understanding and responding to the impact of Indian Residential Schools The role of homeless services in Reconciliation Addressing Intergenerational trauma Cultural reconnection Considerations in Housing First for Indigenous peoples The intersection between homelessness and MMIW Housing and Housing First in the North The role of ceremony and cultural reconnection in recovery Other Sessions format can be adapted to include sharing circles or other culturally appropriate formats. 4
