The first Canadian Conference on Homelessness is a national,
cross-sectoral and interdisciplinary forum for sharing and collaboration
in order to explore the links between research and action, and to continue
to move towards effective long-term solutions in homelessness issues. The
conference will provide a foundation for future research and action on
homelessness along with the capacity to develop effective solutions across
Canada over the long-term.

We are looking for papers and presentations from researchers, service
providers, people involved in policy, and people who have experienced
homelessness.  We invite the submission of proposals for papers, panels,
poster presentations, workshops, storytelling, film and video screenings,
and other forms of presentation on these or other topics.  Submissions on
all topics relating to homelessness in Canada are welcome, including:

 Regional differences  !  Models of service provision  !  Homeless youth
!  Discrimination and social exclusion   !  Barriers to accessing service
