**Topic:** How committing to Open Data has helped change how Toronto talks about homelessness.

Over the last 5 years, the Toronto Shelter & Support Services division has been investing more intentionally in its data work. During this time, the challenges of social service delivery have shifted dramatically. Making key data open and available can play a critical role in shifting the narrative about homelessness service delivery in Toronto.

**Speakers:**
Heath Priston is manager of a dedicated data team at Toronto Shelter & Support Services. He has worked in data & policy for community and social services teams at the City of Toronto for 15 years.
