The project "Exploring the Canadian Landscape of 2SLBTQIA+ Adult Homelessness: Access to Training, Resources, and Promising Practices" is a partnership between Dr. Jayne Malenfant and the 519 in Toronto, which provides services to diverse 2SLGBTQIA+ communities. This work will involve supporting with a literature review and program scan of services for Two-Spirit, trans, non-binary and gender diverse individuals experiencing housing precarity and homelessness across Canada, as well as contribute to the creation of a pan-Canadian community of practice for housing service providers serving and led by Two-Spirit, trans, non-binary, gender-diverse and queer communities. The team is comprised of trans, non-binary, and queer researchers and service providers. There is a focus on training, workplace education, and activist knowledge exchange. Students will be trained and involved with data collection and knowledge mobilization, including co-authorship. Existing experience with community-based and participatory data collection and accessible knowledge mobilization is an asset.
