Our Research Vision

We build knowledge and understanding about homelessness in the community through out innovative approach to research.

Our research vision is based on two principles: applied research and agile analytics.

Applied research is research that has a real effect on the lives of people experiencing homelessness. Read how we use applied research here.

Agile analytics means using data and intelligent tools to help us anticipate and understand the needs of people experiencing homelessness. Read how we use data here.

Our research vision supports our efforts to guide the fight against homelessness and to create a future where people are prevented from experiencing homelessness, or if they do, it is brief and never happens again.

How We Use Research

We use research to make decisions that improve Calgary’s homeless-serving system of care.

Our research is “applied,” which means it provides practical solutions to help people experiencing homelessness.
