Background of the Academy:

The Leadership Academy on Ending Homelessness began in 2015.

Founded by Iain De Jong of OrgCode Consulting, the impetus to focus on leadership development as it relates to ending homelessness was inspired by Iain’s travels throughout Canada and the United States.

From his experiences, Iain discovered that the essential ingredient that seemed to distinguish communities making progress in reducing homelessness and those that were not, was often a matter of the strength of leadership, not the technical training and skills of the workforce.

Now, in partnership with the AAEH, the Leadership Academy is expanding its operations to Australia, where 29 communities around the country are currently working to end homelessness through the Advance to Zero framework.
