Final Report

This is the Final Report of the project, ‘Advancing Coordination of the Winnipeg Homeless Sector’. Over the last year, there have been efforts in the homeless serving community to map out service gaps and needs, and to discuss HPS funding and how it aligns with community priorities.

Exploring Housing-Induced Poverty among Middle-Income Canadian Households

Report: v., 298 pp.; ill., digital file,This report began by exploring the concept of working poverty. It was determined at the outset that while much work had been done on the traditional working poor – that is those low earning “working households” – little had been done to examine more moderate and upper-middle income earning households and their shelter cost issues. To explore this in more detail, the international literature was reviewed with five Canadian cities selected as case studies (Winnipeg, Toronto, Calgary, Ottawa and Halifax). The intent was to explore these five diverse cities using a mixed methods approach that combined both statistical data with more qualitative techniques to ensure a comprehensive analysis was undertaken. This included examining the historical and present context of shelter cost issues among a group not traditionally associated with having affordability pressures. The results point to an emerging trend that suggests more middleincome earning households are facing shelter affordability challenges. The key findings observed in the literature and the data and the focus groups conducted in the five cites are summarized.Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporatio

The Sustainable Working Waterfronts Toolkit: Executive Summary

Working waterfronts and the waterways that connect them define the culture and character of many of our nation’s coastal communities, large and small. Working waterfronts provide a space for water-dependent businesses to exist and support important jobs in our nation’s coastal zones, and as such represent an important component of the U.S. economy. The Sustainable Working Waterfronts Toolkit was developed by a subcommittee of the National Working Waterfront Network with the generous financial support of the Economic Development Administration of the U.S. Department of Commerce. The Project Team involved staff from seven partner institutions: Coastal Enterprises, Inc., Florida Sea Grant, Island Institute, Maine Sea Grant, the National Sea Grant Law Center at the University of Mississippi School of Law, the Urban Harbors Institute at the University of Massachusetts Boston, and Virginia Sea Grant. The Island Institute, Maine Sea Grant, and the National Sea Grant Law Center provided project leadership and coordination

Worcester Model Cities Resident Attitude Survey

In January of 1972, the staff and resident representatives of the Worcester Model Cities neighborhood contracted the Survey Research Program to work with them to conduct a survey of neighborhood residents. The purpose of the project was to collect data that would assist those in the Model Cities area to systematically measure residents\u27 perceptions and feelings, to identify problems and needs, to plan programs, and, perhaps, at a later date to have a basis against which to measure change. The project, as it was designed and as it was carried out, was a joint effort. A committee of residents and staff outlined the study objectives. Program staff prepared several drafts of the interview schedule for review, incorporating the committee\u27s suggestions at each stage. The committee interviewed and helped to screen applicants for interviewers, who were then trained by Survey Research Program staff. When field work was in progress. Model Cities staff monitored the interviewers\u27 day-by-day progress, while Program staff met with interviewers for more intensive review sessions on a weekly basis. And so it is appropriate that the analysis of the data, too, is a cooperative effort rather than simply a document prepared by a consultant. Once the basic distributions of answers had been tabulated, Model Cities staff met with Survey Research Program staff to jointly decide on what further tabulations should be prepared. Copies of all tabulations were provided to Model Cities, so that residents and staff could begin to review and use the findings. This document is not intended to be the product of the project, or to be the report. If we have done our job properly, there should be many products and many reports which in part make use of the study data over the next year or two. The data should be a resource that can be drawn on continuously. Consistent with this orientation, we have tried primarily to put together some of the most basic and interesting tables in a form that is accessible. For the most part, the data have only been summarized, without any attempt to derive implications or conclusions from them. Our goal was to prepare a working document, which could be used by Model Cities residents and staff as one important resource in the planning and assessing of Model Cities programs in Worcester

NY Food 20/20: Vision, Research, and Recommendations During COVID-19 and Beyond

The public health and economic implications of the COVID-19 pandemic to the New York City (NYC) food system have been tremendous. In the six months since March 2020, when the pandemic reached NYC’s 5 boroughs, the number of food-insecure individuals has nearly doubled from 1.2 million to 2 million;1 diet quality for many individuals has decreased;2 the local food workforce has lost more than two-thirds of its workers;3 and more than 1,000 NYC restaurants and food retail outlets have closed,4 some never to re-open. Too often the impacts of a crisis such as COVID-19 are not measured until long after the opportunity to implement policy and programmatic solutions has passed. In this report, researchers from three of NYC’s leading food policy and research institutions analyze COVID-19’s impact on NYC’s food system during the first six months of the pandemic. Our goal is to provide research-based recommendations for policies and programs that support food security, retail, quality, and the food workforce as the COVID-19 crisis continues to unfold
