Turning Insights into Action: Artful Approaches to Housing Research

We co-hosted a webinar with the Canada Mortgage and Housing (CMHC) and the Expert Community on Housing (ECOH).

Description:

This webinar explores how arts-based research methods can facilitate best-practice understandings in supportive housing provision, including design, operations, and policy. Arts-based methods are one means of understanding abstract dimensions of human experience including emotions, memories, and senses. The webinar delves into arts-based research conducted as part of the Aging in the Right Place Partnership, a five-year, cross-Canada interdisciplinary inquiry investigating promising practices in supportive housing service and design for older adults with experiences of homelessness. We share strategies for conducting photovoice and arts-based elicitation interviews, disseminating arts-based knowledge, and translating these forms of research to inform housing design, operations, and policy.
