Well-deserved recognition @SamTsemberis for developing a transformative program and demonstrating through research that it’s incredibly effective at ending #chronichomelessness. Thanks @DeborahPadgett5 for your contribution & efforts at disseminating it #HousingFirst
Sam Tsemberis is the founder of Housing First (and now in Time Magazine's100). Proud to have been one small part of this paradigm shift (and to co-author the book on it.). To achieve this in NYC makes it all the more amazing.

Geoff Nelson & I argue in an Op-Ed @OttawaCitizen that the effectiveness of additional $$$ for the CHB in reducing chronic #homelessness depends on targeted recipients, amount of rent subsidies, & whether it’s combined with support. #HousingFirst
Thanks @ShaneDPhillips for the opportunity to discuss research on #HousingFirst including the findings from the Canadian At Home / Chez Soi trial on the @UCLA Housing Voice podcast.
Part 6 in our Pathways Home series is out today. We spoke with Tim Aubry about At Home/Chez Soi, a five-city study of the Housing First model for assisting chronically homeless people with severe mental illnesses. It worked pretty damn well. lewis.ucla.edu/2024/02/07/66…
Now for a panel discussion led by John Syvestre with Catharine Vandelinde, executive director at Options Bytown; Dr. @TimAubry, leading homelessness researcher with @CRSEC_CRECS at @uOttawa; and Leif Harris, CMHA Ottawa #HousingFirst tenant and Carleton anthropology student.
Thanks to Lanark County, @ElleHalliday and @UnitedWayEO for the invitation to talk about rural homelessness on World Homelessness Day. Lots of excellent work being done by dedicated people to #endhomelessness
Rural homelessness is often invisible and “programs work best when the mental health system is involved.” says @TimAubry, Professor at @UniversityofOttawa and Co-Chair of the @CanadianHousingFirstNetwork. With @ElleHalladay at the rural homelessness conference @UnitedWayEO
Congrats to @AydaAgha for her 1st author publication in CJUR examining the prevalence of chronic #homelessness based on different Canadian definitions using data from the Health and Housing in Transition longitudinal study collected in 3 cities shorturl.at/iosuO
