Elisa Traficante<\/a>,\u00a0Director of Community Initiatives at\u00a0Raising the Roof blogs for Nightstop UK about learning from the first year running a Nightstop service in Canada.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Back in 2015\u00a0Raising the Roof<\/a>, Canada\u2019s first national non-governmental organization focused on homelessness, dramatically re-designed the organization\u2019s strategic directions to focus on the prevention of homelessness. In doing so, I began to look for international examples of homelessness prevention. I was delighted to learn about the positive results of a shelter diversion strategy, Nightstop.<\/p>\n

360\u00b0kids<\/a>, was the first Canadian organization to scale the Nightstop model in the Canadian context in 2017. In order to develop proof of concept of Nightstop here in Canada, my team and I worked with 360\u00b0kids to complete a program evaluation of the pilot.<\/p>\n

Pamela Sariyannis<\/a>, led the program evaluation on behalf of Raising the Roof. Pamela reported positive findings based on the pilot\u2019s early results:<\/p>\n
