Sustainable supports for adult males

19 Dec 2012

The current project proposes to articulate a best practice framework for the development of an Supportive Employment (SE) program in Calgary. In collaboration with members of the Calgary Action Committee on Housing and Homelessness' Interagency Sector, this research sought to uncover the needs of working-aged homeless men and understand the barriers experienced to obtaining and maintaining employment within the context of Calgary; a key player in the national and international economy. Key informants were interviewed from homeless-serving and private business sectors in order to better understand employment needs and barriers.
