During the lab, a diverse group of stakeholders from the housing and homeless-serving sectors were engaged to understand their colleagues and those they are serving and to generate new solutions for improved collaboration and coordination. This collaborative process resulted in the creation of three prototypes: the Housing Hub, a digital platform designed to enhance knowledge sharing and service delivery among community organizations; a Case Management software that fosters efficient information sharing to improve client experiences; and Stepping Stones, a comprehensive housing development tailored specifically for women with children, providing essential on-site services such as addiction support, employment assistance, and childcare. These initiatives are designed to empower community organizations in Saskatoon, enabling them to deliver more effective and compassionate support to the city's most vulnerable residents, thereby enhancing the overall health and stability of the community.
In the spirit of reconciliation, we acknowledge that we are on the traditional territories of the people of the Treaty 7 region, which includes the Blackfoot Confederacy (comprised of the Siksika, Piikani, and Kainai First Nations), the Tsuut’ina First Nation, and the Stoney Nakoda (including the Chiniki, Bearspaw, and Goodstoney First Nations). Calgary is also home to the Métis Nation of Alberta (Districts 5 and 6).
