A Guide to Housing & Homelessness Projection Modelling

Across Canada, municipalities are facing complex and rising pressures around housing affordability and homelessness. But how do you move beyond reacting to start planning for the future?

Our modelling tool helps estimate how homelessness may grow over time without additional intervention — and tests how different types of housing and supports could change that trajectory. It’s designed to inform critical questions like: How much pressure could the system face if nothing changes? What types of action could help turn the curve — and how quickly? How do different housing and support options affect outcomes — and costs?

In this webinar, we'll break down how projection modelling works, what insights it provides, and why our modelling tool is becoming critical for municipal planning, budget prioritization, and long-term housing strategies.

In this webinar, we’ll cover:

- What housing & homelessness projection modelling is and what it isn’t

- How modelling accounts for factors like population growth, housing supply, service capacity, and system performance.

- The 3-scenario approach: Business as Usual, Stabilization, and Reduction, and what these mean for your community.

- Why deeply affordable and supportive housing is essential to changing the trajectory of homelessness.

- How municipalities are already using modelling to guide planning, system transformation, and funding requests.

- Lessons learned from recent modelling projects across Canada.

- How our modelling tool works, the process behind building projections, and how your municipality can take advantage of this approach to inform your strategies and planning.
