CRECS Noon-Hour Colloquium with Katrine Sauvé-Schenk
Decisions for affordable/social housing (DASH) system: a vision for open and transparent data-informed decision making
May 15, 2025 — 12 p.m. to 1 p.m.
We invite you to join us on May 15th from 12:00 to 1:00 pm EST for a discussion with Katrine Sauvé-Schenk (she/her), Assistant Professor at the School Of Rehabilitation Sciences at uOttawa and CRECS Principal Researcher. Her presentation is titled "Decisions for affordable/social housing (DASH) system: a vision for open and transparent data-informed decision making".
Abstract :
Our ability to make informed decisions about Canadian affordable and social housing is limited by siloed databases managing housing stock and housing needs. In partnership with the Alliance to End Homelessness Ottawa, our multidisciplinary University of Ottawa research team is developing DASH (Decisions for Affordable/Social Housing). DASH is an open data solution that will integrate data from existing databases on social housing needs, shelter system users, and available housing stock to support better decision-making. This presentation will describe our vision and the initial steps taken toward DASH’s development and implementation at both community and national levels.
We encourage you to share this virtual event with your students and colleagues!
