Learning & Development Session
Communication Strategies for Community Based Non-Profit Housing & Homelessness Organizations
May 3rd, 2017 (3:30pm-4:30pm)
Communication plays a key supporting role in ongoing efforts to advocate for affordable and supportive housing and in efforts to end homelessness. But more often than not, those working at the community-level simply don’t have the capacity or resources to develop effective communication strategies. In this workshop, participants will learn the step-by-step approach to developing a communication strategy with limited time and resources. This includes the basic elements of a strategy, tips for getting the message out, and handy free tools. The Homeless Hub’s use of design and team collaboration will be used as a case study. The workshop will be lead by two experienced communication professionals working in the non-profit housing and homelessness sectors.
Speaker: Stephanie Vasko, Director of Communication, The Homeless Hub – Canadian Observatory on Homelessness (Nat’l)
