Collaborative Research

Part of Canada Without Poverty’s charitable objectives is to engage in research initiatives on poverty related issues.   By partnering with organizations, we have an opportunity to contribute to a wide range of research projects across Canada.  Currently we are involved in the following:

1) Research project on disability and poverty: Canada Without Poverty is a “community partner” in a major, funded research collaborative, led by the Council of Canadians with Disabilities and currently in year 4 of 5. It will lead to a number of policy prescriptions for addressing the significant vulnerability to poverty of persons with disabilities.

2) Financial literacy project, “Making Ends Meet”: Canada Without Poverty is a partner in a one-year funded project, led by the Centre for Equality Rights in Accommodation, providing ~100 low income adults with the opportunity to share their financial literacy skills, to learn how others who are similarly situated have successfully managed household and personal finances, and to help inform the delivery of financial literacy programs.

3) Ethno-Cultural Outreach Project:  in partnership with Alberta Network of Immigrant Women, the Calgary Centre for Culture, Equity and Diversity, and the Colour of Poverty – Colour of Change in Toronto, this project seeks to engage ethno-racial-faith based communities in anti-poverty work and gain greater insight on poverty within these communities.

All reports and results will be stored in our “Resources” section.
