About
The Homelessness Learning Hub is a place for professional development and community capacity building for those in Canada’s homeless-serving sector.
Why the Homelessness Learning Hub?
The Homelessness Learning Hub offers training and resources based on promising practices and evidence-based research on homelessness. Learning is designed to be self-paced with videos and short, practical readings. New knowledge can be tested through interactive quizzes and activities, and then discussed in the forum.

Training and resources have been developed and/or curated by the Canadian Observatory on Homelessness in collaboration with leading academics and practitioners in the homeless-serving sector.
