Grâce à ce projet d’une durée de 39 mois, l’Aboriginal Coalition to End Homelessness Society (ACEHS) renforcera sa capacité à prévenir et à lutter contre la violence fondée sur le sexe faite envers les femmes, les filles et les personnes 2ELGBTQQIA+ autochtones, en se concentrant sur les personnes ayant vécues en situation d’itinérance à Victoria, en Colombie Britannique. Cet objectif sera atteint en s’engageant auprès de jeunes autochtones 2ELGBTQQIA+ vulnérables et sans logement pour mettre au point un modèle de logement pour les jeunes qui répond à leurs besoins; en conduisant une planification fondamentale en vue de piloter et d’évaluer une entreprise à vocation sociale; et en élaborant une série de politiques, de trousses à outils, de ressources et de modules de formation pour le personnel et les bénévoles qui renforcent les programmes de prévention de la violence de l’ACEHS.
À la fin du projet, l’Aboriginal Coalition to End Homelessness Society aura renforcé ses capacités à prévenir et à lutter contre la violence fondée sur le sexe faite aux femmes, aux filles et aux personnes 2ELGBTQQIA+ autochtones, en se concentrant sur les personnes ayant vécues de l’itinérance.
