1 2019 CONFERENCE SPONSORSHIP PACKAGE BEGINNING THE END OF HOMELESSNESS

2 Solving homelessness together The National Conference on Ending Homelessness is the annual gathering of a growing national movement of individuals, organizations, communities and governments working together to end homelessness in Canada. For decades homelessness in our country followed a relentless and lethal trajectory, increasing steadily year after year. That is until recently, when a small but growing number of Canadian cities like Calgary, Guelph, Hamilton, Medicine Hat and Red Deer began reversing this trend, showing that with a focused effort, homelessness could be reduced. Edmonton - the host of this year s conference - has had the most success of any major city in Canada having reduced homelessness by over 43% in the last 9 years. While major challenges remain, this success and a new era of federal leadership on housing places Canada on the verge of a national breakthrough on the road to ending homelessness. CAEH19 aims to accelerate Canadian progress toward ending homelessness The conference will arm policy makers, funders, researchers, advocates, community leaders and front-line workers with the inspiration, information, tools and training they need to end homelessness. Our program will include 83 concurrent sessions and six plenaries delivered by over 250 national and international experts to over 1,300 participants from across Canada. Our ambitious program includes, Reconciliation and Indigenous homelessness, chronic homelessness, youth homelessness, as well as homelessness for women and the latest in Canadian and international research. The conference will include eighty-four 90-minute sessions organized into 10 streams: 1. A Way Home Youth Homelessness AWH 2. Canadian Observatory on Homelessness Research and Policy COH 3.

4 7th Annual National Conference on Ending Homelessness The National Conference on Ending Homelessness has become the venue for community leaders, agency representatives, researchers, funders and policy makers to gather with common cause to end homelessness. The 2018 conference drew over 1,300 participants to Hamilton, Ontario for a conference which included six plenaries and 77 concurrent sessions featuring over 200 speakers, an artisan marketplace, documentary screenings and tours. CAEH19 will again welcome over 1,000 participants in Edmonton on November 4th to 6th, OUR GOAL IS TO ACCELERATE AN END TO HOMELESSNESS WITH: Tools & Training Providing community leaders, agencies, researchers, funders, and policy makers the research, tools, and training they need to develop and implement plans to end homelessness and Housing First programs. Networks Providing community leaders, agencies, researchers, and policy makers an opportunity to develop local, regional, and national networks. SPONSORSHIP IS ESSENTIAL The conference s impact lies in its accessibility for the people doing the hard work of ending homelessness. Our participants work in the public and non-profit sectors and / or have lived experience of homelessness and have limited budgets for conferences and travel. That s why we made the conscious decision to set registration fees as low as possible and to offer discounted early bird registration, group discounts and Lived Experience Scholarships as well as reduced conference rates for people with lived experience of homelessness. Sponsorship is essential for us to deliver a world class but affordable conference for the people doing the critical work of ending homelessness in Canada. The National Conference on Ending Homelessness is Canada s biggest must-attend event to network and learn in the homelessness sector: Not-for-profit service and advocacy groups People with Lived Experience Government officials Academics, researchers and front line workers Social workers Funders and fundraisers Faith groups Directors, managers and team leads Healthcare professionals Elected officials Board members 2
