|<big>'''Design Better Workshop 2 - Title TBD'''</big>
'''Abstract:'''
The workshop will discuss the advancements in 3D construction printing, featuring insights from Canada's first-ever 3D printed housing project, which will cover both successes and challenges. Innovative international projects will be highlighted to showcase the technology's potential to improve design flexibility and operational efficiency. Current research on the structural strength, ductility, and weather resilience of 3D printed buildings will also be reviewed. The session will conclude with Dr. Das discussing the importance of ongoing research to enhance the technology's cost-effectiveness, environmental sustainability, and acceptance among various stakeholders.

'''Abstract:'''
This presentation asks what good social infrastructure does and how it can intervene on seemingly intractable patterns of social exclusion and disconnection, by drawing on two prototypes developed by InWithForward in partnership with the City of Edmonton. Learn about how "Auricle" and "Soloss" are forms of social infrastructure that enable residents to listen to each other, and make sense of their experiences in ways that foster trust, respect, belonging, and ultimately, wellbeing. Consider how governments can invest in the conditions for R&D in social infrastructure.

|'''<big>Finance Better Workshop 2 - A rental bank approach to housing support</big>'''
'''Abstract:'''
In this session, I present a case study of the CHB as implemented in Nova Scotia, using the framework of adequate housing to do so. Based on interviews with tenants receiving the CHB and front-line housing workers, I find that tenants continue to struggle with housing affordability and may live in housing in need of major repair. I conclude by sharing recommendations for reforms to both the CHB and rental housing markets to ensure the CHB adheres to the right to adequate housing.

|'''<big>Finance Better Workshop 3 - The nuts and bolts of BC Builds</big>'''
'''Abstract:'''
In the landscape of homelessness prevention in Canada and internationally, eviction prevention is recognized as an important emergency-level strategy for keeping financially precarious households from losing their dwelling. Despite their role in eviction prevention, there has been little comparative research to better understand how different models of rent banks, or emergency rental assistance programs, function and to assess their ability to keep households stably housed.
Through over 30 semi-structured interviews with service providers in USA, Canada, Australia, and the UK, we present an international evidence base for promising practices in emergency rental assistance. We discuss their respective political contexts; their perceived effectiveness; possibilities for innovation; and discuss how rent banks fit within a broader homelessness prevention typology.
