Join the Calgary Homeless Foundation and the School of Public Policy for the 9th Annual Data That Makes a Difference Conference.

This two-day national conference brings together data professionals, service delivery partners, and researchers to exchange insights and learnings about the data-driven innovations that are transforming the homeless-serving system of care.

This is your opportunity to:

  • Explore how data-driven insights lead to real change in homelessness response
  • Connect with sector leaders, researchers, and practitioners from across Canada
  • Take home practical strategies to strengthen your work and inspire action

Cost shouldn’t be a barrier to participating. If you have lived experience of homelessness and want to attend, the Calgary Homeless Foundation Lived Experience Bursary can help support your involvement. Learn more or apply at: www.calgaryhomeless.com/dtmad
