  • Quantifying Homelessness
    Snapshot of an Object in Motion: Quantifying Homelessness by Hannah Rabinovitch B.A., Middlebury College, 2009 Project Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Public Policy in the School of Public Policy Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences © Hannah Rabinovitch 2015 SIMON FRASER UNIVERSITY Spring 2015 Approval Name: Hannah Rae Rabinovitch Degree: Master of Public Policy Title: Snapshot of an Object in Motion: Quantifying Homelessness Examining Committee: Chair: Doug McArthur Director, School of Public Policy, SFU J. Rhys Kesselman Senior Supervisor Professor John Richards Supervisor Professor Dominique M. Gross Internal Examiner Professor Date Defended/Approved: March 4, 2015 ii Partial Copyright Licence iii Ethics Statement iv Abstract Politicians and planners increasingly require statistics to justify expenditures on social issues such as housing and homelessness. The federal government is now requiring communities that receive federal homelessness funding to develop local portraits of homelessness. Communities across Canada have shifted their goals from managing towards ending homelessness. This study explores the most useful way to measure homelessness for developing solutions to it and measure progress on reducing homelessness. Key issues are identified from expert interviews and four case studies. Three methods of homeless enumeration are assessed. Cost and implementation complexity, and comprehensiveness emerge as a major trade-off. Conducting infrequent comprehensive point-in-time counts is the recommended approach, along with establishing locally integrated administrative homelessness management information systems to track trends using administrative data. Also important are considerations of contextualizing homelessness within broader socio-economic trends, measuring dynamics of homelessness such as average duration, and using enumeration results to guide funding priorities.

    Show Transcript Deconstructing Dinner Kootenay Co-op Radio CJLY Nelson, B.C. Canada June 17, 2010 Title: Margaret Atwood Joins Prison Farms Campaign / Vancouver’s Backyard Chickens I Producer/Host: Jon Steinman Transcript: Anna Ren Jon Steinman: Welcome to Deconstructing Dinner – produced in Nelson, British Columbia at Kootenay Co-op Radio CJLY. I’m Jon Steinman. You can follow this weekly radio show through one of our 48 participating radio stations in Canada and the United States or through our Podcast and archived episodes linked to from our website at deconstructingdinner.ca. From there you can also stay updated through our Facebook and Twitter pages. Today we visit with two ongoing subjects that we’ve been focusing on as of late, the future of Canada’s rehabilitative and food producing prison farms and backyard hens. This will be the first of a two-part feature on the City of Vancouver’s multi-year process, which, on June 8 th , culminated into the official passing of a bylaw that permits the raising of up to four chickens per household. Because there are now many similar debates being waged among city councils across the country we’ll launch this first of a two-part feature on Vancouver’s efforts by looking back over the past few years to track just how this process first began, and perhaps other hopeful or illegal backyard chickeners can glean some pointers from Vancouver’s efforts. And on the prison farm front… some updates, on the ongoing campaign to save Canada’s six prison farms – it’s a topic we’ve been following closely and one that even more Canadians have become aware of following well-known Canadian author Margaret Atwood joining the fight.
