Call for Proposals
Overview
Making the Shift has put out a call for Expressions of Interest for research and implementation projects focussing on the prevention of, and/or sustainable exits from youth homelessness. Projects are eligible for one to five years of funding. Successful applicants will be invited to submit a full proposal this summer.
Making the Shift – Youth Homelessness Social Innovation Lab (MtS) is a federally funded Networks of Centres of Excellence, with the goal of transforming how we respond to youth homelessness in Canada. MtS is designed to affect a shift from the ad-hoc response to youth homelessness – centred on emergency services and time-limited supports – to a strategic and coordinated system that prioritizes the prevention and ending of youth homelessness.
Funding Streams
There are two funding streams one can apply to:
- Core Research Projects (CRP) These are larger multi-year projects with budgets of over $50,000 (total).
- Small Research Projects (SRP) This program funds smaller scale, shorter term research projects valued at less than $50,000 (total). The application process for this stream is less onerous.
