Supportive Housing: A key Ingridient in the Safety and Well-being of Thriving Communities
-
By Christopher M. Stephen, Date of Project Submission: April 2015., Completed for: Peterborough Police Service; Supervising Professor: Sharon Beaucage-Johnson; Trent Community Research Centre, FRSC4890 - Forensic Community-Based Research Project, The Peterborough Police have a great interest in social programs through their mandate of
community policing through a harm reduction model, which means understanding and aiding
where they are able in social programs such as supportive housing. The purpose of this project
was to determine the scope, amount and level of need of supportive housing in Peterborough and
the surrounding areas, and then to compare these needs and models to other communities to
begin the development of best practices that could be implemented in Peterborough. In these
comparisons, it was essential to determine the cost of these programs, and if they effectively
reduced costs and stresses on public emergency services. Major positive findings of this study
indicate that supportive housing is a reliable method for the development and support of at-risk
populations. While there is a lack of supportive housing for specific high risk individuals in the
Peterborough area, the framework for continued and improved support does exist. Finally,
supportive housing has been shown to drastically reduce the cost and stresses that high risk
individuals who would greatly benefit from support, put on public emergency services, including
hospital visits, emergency shelter use and 911 calls.

Supporting Immigrant Entrepreneurs
-
By Brieanna Elliot, Date of Project Submission: April 2015., Completed for: New Canadians Centre ; Supervising Professor: Heather Nicol; Trent Community Research Centre, GEOG4030 - Community Based Research, In partnership with the New Canadians Centre, located in Peterborough, the goal of this
research is to find ways to assist immigrants with entrepreneurship which will in turn lead to
growth of the economy of the City of Peterborough as a whole. As Canadians, we live in a highly
multicultural society in which immigration is the norm. Many of the immigrants that immigrate
to Canada choose Peterborough to call their new home. The New Canadians Centre works
closely with immigrants in Peterborough to help their transition to the city go as smoothly as
possible, while also drawing attention to programs and opportunities in Peterborough that will
help with economic, health, along with social needs. Immigrants have established businesses in
many cities within Canada, thereby contributing to Canada’s economy, society and culture. The
City of Peterborough currently has the highest percentage of immigrant entrepreneurs in Canada;
it is therefore especially important to focus on implementing programs in order to better assist
new and potential immigrant entrepreneurs in Peterborough to help them to realize their full
potential in the community. This research will focus specifically on immigrant entrepreneurship
in the City of Peterborough, while drawing from identified best practices of programs and
supports available for immigrant entrepreneurs in other communities.

Supporting Activism in Peterborough: Building Relationships to Support OPIRG Working Groups
-
This paper evaluates the effectiveness of OPIRG Peterborough in supporting its working groups. The conceptual framework is built on a literature review drawing on relevant themes, policy review of PIRGS across Ontario and interviews from working group participants to identify working group dynamics and best practices. Results suggest that communication, training, networking, planning and reflection are areas in which OPIRG both demonstrated strengths and weakness. Recommendations for OPIRG staff and working group members are included. This study extends previous discussion on effective campaigning and relationships between OPIRG and working groups by implementing planning mechanisms within the working groups and offering networking opportunities on a local, provincial and PIRG to PIRG basis., By Ashley Bonner and Nomaan Butt, Date of Project Submission: April 2015., Completed for: Trent Community Research Centre and OPIRG Peterborough; Supervising Professor: Paul Shaffer; Trent Community Research Centre, IDST 4220Y - Assessment of Development Projects
