Human Resources committee  I'm sorry. I'm going to admit that at the At Home project, we've published probably 150 publications. I'll send you that one in particular, but there are a few good ones.

Human Resources committee  I submitted that to the HPS and the review a couple of year ago, so I'll forward it on. I think the Winnipeg model works. We have a really tremendous efficient model that I'm sure Edmonton and your community have as well. We just need to fine-tune it.

Dr. Jino Distasio

Human Resources committee  Again, I think the greatest programs are the ones that are able to direct funds toward community-based organizations. The more we can empower those community organizations and entities to come up with local plans, the better success you have. I still say the HPS, which is the cur

Human Resources committee  It's the homeless partnering strategy. The federal homeless partnering strategy is a good framework because it gets money to Winnipeg and it actually bypasses the province in some ways, but it's just tacked on with all this tape. Get rid of the tape, give the money back to the lo

Human Resources committee  I think there's a good model in your jurisdiction. In Vancouver, your local HPS community advisory board is Vancity. Vancity has created a really simple program to get money into people's hands, to monitor it, and to get reports back. They simplified a very complicated process.

Human Resources committee  Use the community-led model through the HPS that established community advisory boards led by local experts and supported by a community entity that manages money. Just give those community entities a little bit more autonomy to make local decisions and just lift the continuous b

Human Resources committee  Well, we shouldn't have shelters in the first place....

Dr. Jino Distasio

Human Resources committee  For funding, it is the same thing here. One of our shelters has been able to have consistent funding, Main Street Project. They've only recently had to focus on fundraising. Siloam Mission is probably in that same boat. They provide critical services, but they have to reach out.

Dr. Jino Distasio

Human Resources committee  Agreed. I think that has to go hand in hand with supporting families and supporting families living in quality housing. Yes, you have my full support.

Human Resources committee  Just quickly, though, we did publish a paper—I know it's about academics—looking at ACE scores, adverse childhood events. We think we added one of the first papers that definitively linked adverse childhood events with a greater likelihood of becoming homeless later in life.

Dr. Jino Distasio

Human Resources committee  I wouldn't disagree with you. I think that early childhood interventions are critical for two- to four-year-olds. My office has looked at Scandinavian countries, and there seems to be a lot of success there, even with respect to Germany. You have two-year-olds in the program.

Dr. Jino Distasio

Human Resources committee  Thank you for the question. It's very important. We've had an opportunity to work with both the AMC and MMF a few years ago looking at aboriginal mobility into Winnipeg. We tracked 600 people over three years from 125 different communities in this province into Winnipeg. Over t

Dr. Jino Distasio

Human Resources committee  I think we've just burdened organizations. I'll give you an example. I received HPS money to do a report on the African housing situation in your neighbourhood, $25,000, and toward the end I said to the community entity, “Why don't you just keep the money? I can't deal with all y

February 15th, 2017Committee meeting

Dr. Jino Distasio

Human Resources committee  Yes. I think there is room for some exploration. Again, selfishly, the At Home/Chez Soi project is a good example of an applied research demonstration project. We were demonstrating housing first in five Canadian cities that then leveraged $650 million through HPS into housing fi
