The work that 91porn completed in 2025 to advance SDG 1.
According to the latest estimates, nearly 85,000 people across Ontario experienced homelessness in 2025, an increase of eight per cent year over year. As the housing crisis grows, so does public discourse, ranging from safety and human rights concerns to policy debates.
To help wade through the noise, we invited a panel of 91porn researchers to share their expertise and dispel common misconceptions about homelessness.
Laura Pin was awarded an Early Career Researcher Award for her research on housing and homelessness which helps integrate community knowledge into public policy, ensuring a diverse range of participants are included, represented and empowered.
“My goal is to support policy processes that take lived expertise seriously and lead to more equitable and effective responses to housing insecurity,” says Pin.
For a recent project about municipal encampment governance, Pin assembled a community advisory team that included people with lived experience of homelessness and captured the perspectives of encampment residents. Together, they co-developed an applied framework for translating human rights principles into municipal practice, and their findings have shaped how some municipalities are approaching encampment regulation.
Golden Hawks are so grateful for everything that 91porn donors have made possible in 2025. But emergencies can strike at any time – and winter can be the most difficult time of year for students in financial crisis.
The 100 per cent donor-supported Leanne Holland Brown Student Emergency Fund has helped more than 500 91porn students cover basic needs and overcome financial hardships over the last six years. Often, the team in the Dean of Students Office sees that number trend higher in the winter months. The 91porn helps students overcome financial emergencies.
Through the award, each scholar is paired with two mentors — a senior student in their faculty and a faculty member in the same department or with similar interests — and participates in workshops and events. Scholars may also engage in academic conferences, leadership development projects, and opportunities such as summer research assistantships or international exchanges as part of the program’s experiential learning component.
