Funded Research

Making the Shift funded research projects that focus on youth homelessness prevention, demonstrated research excellence, and aligned with one of five themes outlined in the research agenda.

Making the Shift invested over $10 million in funded research projects across Canada. Proposals were subjected to a rigorous peer review process, which was overseen by the Making the Shift Research Management Committee—a diverse group of experts representing a variety of subject areas related to homelessness prevention. Peer review committees were composed of researchers and practitioners with expertise in youth homelessness prevention. We administered two types of calls for proposals: open calls for proposals and targeted calls for proposals. To learn more about our funded research, check out our research summaries series.
