Welcome to the National Conference on Ending Homelessness!

Since its inception in 2013, the CAEH National Conference on Ending Homelessness has been equipping policymakers, funders, researchers, advocates, community leaders and front-line workers with the inspiration, information, tools and training they need to end homelessness in Canada.

About CAEH

A Safe and Welcoming Space for Everyone

The National Conference on Ending Homelessness is a diverse, inclusive, accepting and safe place for everyone. We welcome participants from all backgrounds including people of colour, marginalized groups and those of diverse sexual orientations and gender identities. We have taken steps to ensure the inclusion of 2SLGBTQ+ people by adding space on all conference name badges to include pronouns, designating gender-neutral bathrooms and featuring diverse presenters.

The National Conference on Ending Homelessness welcomes and celebrates individuals with lived experience of homelessness. We do this by offering a Lived Experience Scholarship that covers the conference registration and associated transportation and accommodation expenses, empowering individuals with lived experience of homelessness to attend the conference and share their unique and valuable perspectives, thereby enriching the experience for all attendees. 

Our 1,500+ conference attendees come from over 13 provinces and territories in Canada Together they represent diverse backgrounds with roles like front line workers, social workers, health care professionals, elected officials, and researchers, from sectors including academia, not-for-profit, faith organizations, all levels of government, law enforcement and health care.

 

Health & Safety Measures

  • We are asking that everyone attending the conference be fully vaccinated against COVID-19. While attendees will not be required to show proof of vaccination upon entry, we ask you to remember that many of your fellow participants will have health conditions that put them at increased risk from COVID-19.
  • We ask all registrants to monitor their health for any symptoms of illness. Should you fall ill, we request that you stay at home for the health, safety, and comfort of all conference attendees. If you cannot attend the conference due to illness, we will happily give you a full refund of your conference registration.

We will do everything we can to ensure a healthy and safe conference for all our participants. Please feel free to reach out to us at any time with questions or concerns.

Our Goal

Every year we meet, we are one step closer to ending homelessness and getting to the day when this conference will no longer be necessary because we have achieved our shared goal. Our alliance is growing, strengthening, and gaining traction. Together, we will achieve our mission of ending homelessness.

We know how vital it is for all of us to connect, learn and be inspired, so join us at CAEH23 in Halifax from November 8 to 10, 2023.
