Description:

The Homelessness Knowledge Development (HKD) funding stream provides funding to stakeholders, including not-for-profit organizations, researchers and academics, to develop knowledge on homelessness issues. HKD funds projects that focus on data development; research and analysis; identification and sharing of best practices; and knowledge dissemination.

This CFP focuses on knowledge development research projects related to homelessness in rural and remote areas. The HP Secretariat is looking to fund research projects on the following issues associated with rural and remote homelessness: the migration of homeless people and those at risk of homelessness, especially youth and Aboriginals, from rural and remote areas to urban centres; and the role that networks of family and friends play as a means to address homelessness.
