A socio-ecological approach to understanding determinants of homelessness in Prince Albert: A community-based research approach
This project explores the determinants of homelessness in Prince Albert (PA) using a community-based research approach. The aim is to understand the needs of people experiencing homelessness in the city, the impact of homelessness, the community assumptions about homelessness, and the opportunities and barriers to addressing it. Understanding homelessness in Prince Albert, the factors sustaining it, what resources are available regarding services, and local and global best practices needed to manage homelessness or care for people experiencing homelessness is crucial. About 30 in-depth interviews will be conducted with service providers and policy makers involved in addressing homelessness. We will review secondary data to explore employment initiatives and other preventative interventions to reduce homelessness. Our findings will provide policy direction and help service providers to better support people experiencing homelessness.
