About the Homelessness Learning Hub

The Homelessness Learning Hub is a place for professional development and community capacity building for those in Canada’s homeless-serving sector.

Why the Homelessness Learning Hub?

The Homelessness Learning Hub offers training and resources based on promising practices and evidence-based research on homelessness. Learning is designed to be self-paced with videos and short, practical readings. New knowledge can be tested through interactive quizzes and activities, and then discussed in the forum.

Meet the Team

Training and resources have been developed and/or curated by the Canadian Observatory on Homelessness in collaboration with leading academics and practitioners in the homeless-serving sector.

Karen's bio

Karen Bosworth is the Instructional Designer & Content Developer for the Homelessness Learning Hub where she develops training and curates collections of learning resources for the housing and homelessness sector. Karen is driven to produce engaging and effective learning experiences that people will actually enjoy. She specializes in developing online training that is learner-centred and practical. Her key strengths include engaging scholars and practitioners in collaborative design, creating engaging and interactive lessons with stories and scenarios and working with trainers to transform in-person events to online learning.

C.L.'s bio

C.L. Michel studied French and English literature at McMaster University and spent eight years as a language teacher, working with learners of all ages. She decided to focus on translation in 2018 and returned to school at Glendon College for skill building and certification, and it was during this time that she started working at the COH in a part-time student position. She started full-time at the COH in 2022 and her role is focused on the language side of things: editing, translating, and doing the terminological work required to deliver high quality resources in both French and English.

When she’s not working, C.L.  pitches in a 2SLGTBTQ softball league, hosts a French-language pop and hip-hop show on her local community radio station, and does support and advocacy work for people held in Ontario’s prisons. She lives in Hamilton.
