Make Research Matter
The Canadian Observatory on Homelessness is a leader in making homelessness research accessible, paving the way for the adoption of new policies, services, and practices.
Our Research to Impact Cycle
We believe knowledge mobilization involves collaborative research practices that draw on our partners’ various strengths and expertise. Our Research to Impact Cycle takes a design thinking approach to knowledge mobilization and consists of four mutually reinforcing components that maximize impact.

A Note on Equity, Diversity & Inclusion
We acknowledge the necessity of grounding our work in the experiences of marginalized populations, not only as subjects of research, but through an inclusionary and anti-racism approach to ensure marginalized populations co-produce solutions to homelessness. This means meaningful engagement in knowledge mobilization from inception to completion to enhance the relevance and applicability of resulting knowledge developed to marginalized populations.
