53 ABOUT US: A Way Home is a national coalition dedicated to preventing, reducing and ending youth homelessness in Canada.
54 Key National Partners
55 Funders as Partners
56 Strategic Priorities
57 3 1. Identify, develop, research and build evidence on policies and program models that support the shift to prevention and appropriate models of housing and supports. 2. Develop partnerships to integrate policy and program model learnings into other youth focused systems of care (child intervention, youth justice, mental health and addictions). 3. Support and facilitate systems planning in communities, regions and at the provincial/territorial levels (processes must include those that can influence the systems that drive young people into homelessness). 4. Service provider/sector shift - requires knowledge and support about change management and is led by the National Learning Community on Youth Homelessness hosted by AWH. 5. Knowledge mobilization, public engagement and government relations to inform sound public policy and investment.
58 Key Partnership & Collaboration Community Planning Youth Voice Research Constellations of Activity Programs Community of practice Public Engagement Government Relations
59 Collective Impact involves a group of relevant actors from different sectors working together to address a major challenge by developing and working toward a common goal that fundamentally changes outcomes for a population.
60 Collaboration is NOT the same as Collective Impact
61
62 Preconditions For Collective Impact 1. Influential Leaders 2. A Sense of Urgency 3. Building trust 4. Adequate Resources
63 Essential Mindset Shifts for Collective Impact Kania, J. Hanley Brown, F., Splansky Juster, J. (2014) Essential Mindset Shifts for Collective Impact Stanford Social Innovation Review Fall 2014
64 Mindset Shift One: Who Is Involved Get all the right eyes on the problem Agree to work towards a common goal
65 Mindset Shift Two: How people work together The relational is as important as the rational Structure is as important as strategy Sharing credit is MORE IMPORTANT than taking credit
66 Mindset Shift Three: How Progress Happens Pay attention to adaptive work, not just technical solutions Look for silver buckshot instead of the silver bullet Identify the innovative solutions that are out there
