Community education presentation on homelessness

As part of the Welcome Home Project, the Toronto Shelter Network delivered a virtual 30-minute presentation with a Q&A to the BQNA residents to improve the understanding of homelessness.

The presentation included:

1. An overview of the state, causes, myths and misconceptions about homelessness and actions community members can take to help end homelessness

2. An opportunity to hear from someone with lived experience of homelessness tell their story and underscore the importance of housing.

Below is a link to a video recording of the presentation.
