It is with great pride that A Way Home Canada (AWHC), the Canadian Observatory on Homelessness (COH) and our Making the Shift Youth Homelessness Social Innovation Lab publish this edition of Parity with a special focus on Canadian efforts to transform how we respond to youth homelessness.

This edition is a showcase of a range of efforts across policy, systems planning and practice domains to support a move from predominantly a crisis response to one that focuses on prevention and sustained exits from homelessness. Also featured are contributions from people with lived experience of youth homelessness, as it is critical that their experiences and insights drive our collective efforts.
