Virtual Member Gathering Recording
The National Conference on Ending Homelessness organised by the Canadian Alliance to End Homelessness (CAEH) was held in Toronto Nov 2 – 4, 2022. 
Dufferin received a shout out from Minister Clark (Province) and from the CAEH because Dufferin are part of an elite group of small but growing group of communities on the verge of ending homelessness. Dufferin County has been leading that group and is on track to reach functional zero, having reduced chronic homelessness by a whopping 74 percent. Dufferin is leading the way. Small and mighty.

Supporting innovative solutions in housing
The Catherine Donnelly Foundation works to transform the lives of those in underinvested communities by supporting innovative solutions in housing, adult education and the environment.
At the heart of our work is the conviction that by working collectively we can eliminate homelessness and ensure decent affordable housing, restore our climate in a just and equitable fashion and help the marginalized and those experiencing poverty empower themselves through social action.

On Tuesday, the Office of the Auditor General released their report on the federal government's progress on ending chronic homelessness.
The Canadian Alliance to End Homelessness welcomes the Auditor General's recommendations, which focus on the federal government needing to do a better job collecting data on the impact of their work, and calling for better coordination and leadership on the National Housing Strategy and Reaching Home. We are heartened that both CMHC and Infrastructure Canada agree with the report's recommendations.
We've provided a full run-down of the recommendations and a detailed response. Read it here:
Employment Training Program - openings for youth in Guelph/Wellington/Dufferin
The CEC is currently conducting interviews for intake into our Connect-ED Working Circles program. We have our 7th cohort starting on November 17 or 24. We are conducting interviews of youth ages 18-30 (as of next Monday) who are generally speaking out of work and out of school, and interested in marketing, communications, administration. Youth who have some post-secondary or work experience in entry-level marketing, social media, administration would likely find this opportunity most valuable. The program includes 5 weeks of virtual training, followed by a 10-14 week paid employment placement. Youth who are in training receive a weekly living allowance at an hourly payment that equals minimum wage. They are then on the payroll with the employer. The employer is reimbursed by CEC based on invoices and payroll reports (usually 1-2x during the placement). Employers who might consider hiring the youth full-time following the placement are ideal, but we know that this is not always the case.
 
What we need from our community partners:
 
  • Spread the word to youth who may be interested in applying in Guelph/Wellington/Dufferin
  • Contact Sadia about your "spotlight project" - a design project that youth could work on for you while they are in training
  • Employers needed for youth placements - register on our link: https://tinyurl.com/Employer-CEWC
  • Attend our networking events to help youth learning the fundamentals of this skill
  • Join our program as a mentor who meets with youth 4-8 times over the 5 weeks
 
Please help us to spread the word to youth and employers who might be interested in this program!

Tell us about your workforce and employment challenges and help us brainstorm local solutions for these challenges. We will share some labour market insights: some ideas as to where the people are, why recruitment may be a challenge, as well as what could affect retention.
 
We want to hear from you:
·   What are your biggest challenges now? What will they be in six months?
·   How will that impact your business or organization?
·   What do we do in the next year (or promote if it already exists) to move the needle towards meeting needs? What requires longer than a year, and how can we get started now?

Resource - How do actual core costs and project-based funding compare?
One of Imagine Canada’s current policy priorities is getting more core funding for the nonprofit sector. We created this table to compare the costs that are typically covered by project-based funding with the core operating costs for nonprofits to show the impact that a lack of core funding can have on organizations.
