5 Key Takeaways
A roundup of the most compelling ideas, themes and quotes from this candid conversation
|1. Getting to Zero is not an aspiration but rather a method that has evolved over time
Rosanne Haggerty, President and Chief Executive Officer of Community Solutions started the lecture with a quote by W. Edwards Deming: “Every system is perfectly designed to achieve exactly the results it gets.” The recognition that homelessness is an urgent and solvable public health and racial equity challenge—rather than a technical problem (not enough housing units or program resources) was key in the evolution of their approach in getting to zero. Community Solutions determined that the whole community needed to be studied in order to measure what was happening and understand the existing systemic barriers in place and what the community’s needs were. There are five things every community needs:- A shared, measurable aim, which is the most critical thing for a community to see progress because they are committed to solving the same problem and holding each other accountable and measuring progress in the same way.
- A nimble, integrated team of key agencies that are working on the issues
- A real-time, by-name feedback loop
- A flexible arsenal of resources
- A testable menu of technical strategies
2. Solving homelessness is a data-driven process
Solving homelessness is a data driven practice that shows the comprehensive nature of the problem, accounts for everyone across the geography and requires you to test your way forward. There are key data points to track:- Inflow
- Newly identified
- Retuned from housing
- Returned from inactive
- Actively homeless outflow
- Housing placements
- Moved to inactive
3. The lived-experienced voice is the most important aspect
It is essential to include community members who are experiencing homelessness, hear their lived experiences and utilize their insight into what is and isn’t working in the current system. We should ask questions about the issues they are dealing with, who are they, where they have come from and how can we help them not only on the front end, but all the way through the process. People impacted by the decisions made need to be at the table to provide insight into how the services are serving them. It is everyone’s responsibility to make sure people have the supports they need to ensure that they are stable in the housing of their choosing. This process boils down to honouring people’s journey into homelessness and assisting them with their journey out of homelessness.4. We need to build authentic relationships by strengthening Indigeneity
To effectively eliminate homelessness, the approach you take must be culturally specific and grounded in the values of the population you are focused on. In Victoria, the Indigenous population is only around 5%, however they make up approximately 33% of the people that are unhoused. A major milestone is Coordinated Access and Assessment (CAA), which committed 33% of all new supportive housing units to Indigenous Peoples. Fran Hunt-Jinnouchi, Director of Housing Development and Research at the Aboriginal Coalition to End Homelessness Society said, “we can’t continue to try to fit our circle into your square”. When asked what home was to them, it was rarely a house, typically it was their ancestral community; highlighting the critical importance of creating bridges into community.5. Homelessness is a symptom of a broader problem
The reality of homelessness is that it is an upstream issue that needs to be addressed. Mayor Dan Carter highlighted the importance of not just thinking about the number of housing units that could be built, but rather the importance of getting to the root of the issue which is about inequity, poverty, addiction, and mental health. Jamie Rogers said “homelessness wouldn’t be an issue if the existing systems worked.” Agrees Rosanne Haggerty, “in some ways homelessness isn’t the problem, it’s the symptom of that problem, which is that our safety net is broken, and there’s this lack of accountability for what happens to vulnerable people in crisis.”|Full Panel Transcript

That interview is the reason I’m trying to help to end homelessness – I was so moved by that segment that I wrote to 60 minutes for the transcript and kept it all this time. I didn’t connect that interview with this webinar until just now! 17:03:06 From Canadian Urban Institute to Josée Pharand and all panelists : Hi there! Thank you for this note. This message was sent only to the host and panelists. Please change your chat settings to “everyone” so that everyone can see your comments.

Shame. #StephaneOCH_LCO 3+ Billion $ slumlord 2 recent youth murders in slumlord Ottawa Community Housing ghetto.OCH #1 cockroach,bedbug,rat,garbage infestation and slumlord on Ottawa. #MathieuFleury #ScottMoffatt21 #cmckenney #tm_kavanagh #rawlsonking (Board) https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGZNLKMP8-Mx7C4LyMIHllA/videos 17:09:15 From CATHERINE Nasmith to Hosts and panelists : Wow 17:09:27 From Sho Isogai : Another great presentation and well done Rosanne. You are a legend! 17:09:34 From Beate Bowron : Rosanne, are you working in Toronto? 17:09:52 From Dick Passmore : Yes! 17:10:43 From Abby Jackson : what are best practices for getting representation of persons experiencing homelessness living in the state’s right of way (along highways and such), who might not otherwise be included in local services offered by a city or county? What messaging has worked well for inclusiveness and collaboration and convincing leaders to care about the individuals that are not on their land but are part of their community? 17:11:45 From Amy Buitenhuis : people may be interested to know that Toronto is now reporting on homelessness in the way discussed in this presentation (using a by name list of people who are homeless) https://www.toronto.ca/city-government/data-research-maps/research-reports/housing-and-homelessness-research-and-reports/shelter-system-flow-data/ 17:13:08 From Karen Ramsay Cline to Hosts and panelists : Hello to the host and panelists – FYI some of us are zooming in from different levels of government, organizations etc – very important for many levels to work together to address this complex topic. 17:14:06 From Rachel Stark : We do work like that in the City of Charlotte, NC. We’re working this way to better meet a range of goals such as housing, crime, and jobs. Some of the challenges we face are just breaking people off their normal way of doing business but also sometimes just getting leadership to trust/back the results. What are some of the tips you all have for that? 17:17:58 From Lindsay Allan : What can you say with respects to ‘common assessment’ process built into this work? 17:18:37 From Abby S She/her to Hosts and panelists : Are those 89 communities areas within cities or entire cities? Or both? I ask having just read about the rise in people experiencing homelessness in Venice Beach California ans the massive resistance of the residents of Venice Beach. 17:18:46 From fredrica walters to Hosts and panelists : Some towns want homelessness to go away, pretending it does not exist as it posed a challenge to their re-election. Businesses sees it as a problem for their customers and it is frustrating when people will not admit their is a problem. This is one of the primary challenge along with agencies not willing to work toward the same end goal. 17:20:14 From Canadian Urban Institute : We love your comments and questions in the chat! Share them with everyone by changing your chat settings to “everyone”. Thanks 17:21:33 From Paul Pentikainen : Do you know of any cities/towns that were able to have higher levels of government foot the bill for permanent housing to be paid back by the tax dollars spent locally on homelessness? We know we spend more on emergency health services, police services, and shelter costs then it would cost to house them in supportive housing units, but its the annual municipal budgets that cannot afford the long term costs (mortgages) to make this happen, which only the Provincial/Federal governments can do. 17:22:03 From Paul Wirch to Hosts and panelists : Mayor Carter, are you able to share about the challenges and opportunities being faced by “The Refuge” in creating temporary housing for youth on Simcoe Street? 17:25:39 From Paul Pentikainen : obviously there have been piecemeal funding by higher levels of gov, but how can we get them to give cities/towns loans/mortgages to be paid back from cost savings from municipal budgets? 17:26:50 From Dick Passmore : As we did with the Housing First model, we just need to use the same common philosophy and add in the ‘local context’ and local resources. 17:26:58 From Abby S She/her to Hosts and panelists : Exactly Mary. How do we keep the mindset of just get it done. 17:30:04 From Paul Pentikainen : Im here in Toronto and my local gov just spent $20 million on police and security guards to kick the homeless out of parks. The cities and towns have all the money they need to house the homeless, they just have it in an annual fashion and thus need higher level mortgages/loans. how do we get these? Im stumped 17:31:58 From Abby S She/her : It seems so obvious that those who are experiencing homelessness are the ones who need to be part of the solution. As does consulting deeply with indigenous communities. 17:32:17 From John Ryerson : Homeless Soccer gives people sense of identity often tying back to their culture 17:33:26 From Krista Loughton to Hosts and panelists : Great to see and hear Fran on this call. 17:33:46 From Donnie Rosa to Hosts and panelists : Fran, I’m heading to the Island in October and would love to connect if you have a moment??? 17:34:35 From Paul Pentikainen : Maybe a petition by all municipalities to demand feds give us loans/mortgages? 17:34:58 From Allyson Hewitt to Hosts and panelists : User centred design 🙂 17:35:50 From Abby S She/her : Person first 17:36:06 From Matt Nomura : Exactly Fran 17:36:31 From Beate Bowron : Homes First, but with all the support services needed and coordinated 17:36:32 From Trish Sorrenti : housing first gives a sense of security and allows outreach workers to better track and work with individuals 17:37:01 From Fran Hunt-Jinnouchi to Donnie Rosa and all panelists : Unfortunately I am out of country in October. 17:37:11 From Jeremy Heighton : There are four pillars to a healing community, it must go beyond “housing first” to be robust enough to create health based outcomes. Housing first creates to introductory step, we are missing the second and beyond steps (counseling, health, etc. here we have little depth of care systems. 17:37:24 From fredrica walters : All cities/towns must be on board with their municipalities to address the problem. 17:37:36 From Donnie Rosa : Being able to celebrate culture and community at local parks is an important part of social connectivity – engage your parks and rec folks in the wrap-around services. 17:37:51 From Sho Isogai : Re-Creating a functional, collaborative/coordinated, data-driven housing and homelessness systems in the multi-sectors in the community maybe… 17:37:52 From C Kagan to Hosts and panelists : Seems like housing first is the key, but an holistic approach to home and security must also be used 17:37:53 From Dick Passmore : Housing First is an approach that works with a certain percentage of our individuals, and was never meant to be the be all and end all… 17:38:03 From Trish Sorrenti : our municipality has challenges with individuals who are on the street or in encampments but aren’t actually homeless. what then? 17:38:35 From fredrica walters : Agree with you Mayor Dan. See them as “People First “ 17:38:54 From Abby S She/her to Hosts and panelists : Yes thank you Mayor Dan. 17:39:42 From Sho Isogai : Some say, “Whole-of-governments and whole-of-society approaches”. 17:39:46 From Abby S She/her to Hosts and panelists : How do you balance encampments which some inhabitants may see as housing? 17:40:17 From Jeremy Lewis : Excellent presentation and discussion from all of the panelists. Rosanne, can you please share some examples of the way in which real time population level data translates into more effective interventions or policy in this sector? What evidence can you share that the data-intervention cycle is in fact improving results, compared to procedures that lack near real-time data? How can population level data be used in a nuanced way that recognizes the complexity of individual experience? 17:40:23 From Abby S She/her to Hosts and panelists : It speaks to Mayor Dan’s comment about reaching different populations. 17:40:27 From Matt Nomura : Well said Jaime – bravo. 17:41:30 From Abby S She/her : Right. Mayor Dan. Haven’t we learned that massive interventions and support must accompany housing? 17:41:40 From C Kagan to Hosts and panelists : Agree 100% with what the mayor is saying 17:41:52 From Sue Holdsworth : As it was said earlier, housing is not the outcome, it is a means to the outcome. Perhaps the outcome is wellbeing. 17:41:53 From Olusola Olufemi : Holistic approach that puts ‘people’ at the core of Housing First philosophy. 17:41:59 From Matt Nomura : very true Mayor Dan! 17:44:51 From Abby S She/her : Housing budgets must include budgets for the ongoing complexities. They cannot stop when the door is closed. 17:45:35 From Sho Isogai : Well said Rosanne! 17:46:14 From Jeremy Lewis : Thank you Rosanne, those were very vivid examples. That is very granular data you have access to, very interesting 17:50:29 From Kelly Goz : find natural leaders – they are not necessarily the CEOs of organizations 17:51:51 From lance brown to Hosts and panelists : Thank you all. Keep on keeping on! 17:54:50 From dan schumacher : This meeting is formidably informative 17:55:37 From fredrica walters : Please Mayor Dan. Talk to the other Mayor’s in our Region. Some just want it to go AWAY! 17:55:40 From Myra Thomson : Very well said Mayor Dan!!!! 17:56:27 From Canadian Urban Institute : Keep the conversation going #gettingtozero #citytalk @canurb You can find transcripts and recordings of today’s and all our sessions at www.citytalkcanada.ca 17:56:46 From fredrica walters : Thank you so much for this platform. Refreshing! 17:58:05 From Mona Moreau : How many homeless are there in Toronto? Anyone know? 17:59:04 From Jeremy Lewis : https://www.toronto.ca/city-government/data-research-maps/research-reports/housing-and-homelessness-research-and-reports/shelter-system-flow-data/ 17:59:15 From Karen Ramsay Cline : An excellent and important conversation.
