Summary
Through this 33-month systemic change project, Huronia Transition Homes will help advance women’s economic security and prosperity through systemic change. Specifically, the project will address systemic barriers to economic security faced by women who have survived violence. The project will do this by engaging with a newly developed local network that will inform the design of a Basic Income Guarantee (BIG) Framework. The network will bring together municipalities, academic institutions, social services, women with lived experience, regional committees, and the local health unit to work collectively to advance the BIG framework in North Simcoe. In collaboration with this network, the organization will conduct research, develop the Basic Income Guaranteed (BIG) framework, and develop a knowledge translation strategy that will be implemented to present the framework to the community and potential supporters. An external evaluator will measure and assess the impact of the systemic change project.

Description (French)
Grâce à ce projet de changement systémique d’une durée de 33 mois, l’organisme Huronia Transition Homes contribuera à faire progresser la sécurité économique et la prospérité des femmes au moyen d’un changement systémique. Plus précisément, ce projet s’attaquera aux obstacles systémiques à la sécurité économique auxquels font face les femmes qui ont survécu à la violence. Pour ce faire, une collaboration avec un nouveau réseau local aura pour objectif de guider la conception d’un cadre de revenu minimum garanti. Le réseau réunira des municipalités, des établissements d’enseignement, des services sociaux, des femmes ayant un vécu expérientiel, des comités régionaux et le bureau de santé local afin de travailler collectivement à l’avancement du cadre du revenu minimum garanti à Simcoe-Nord. En collaboration avec ce réseau, l’organisme mènera des recherches, élaborera le cadre de revenu minimum garanti ainsi qu’une stratégie d’application des connaissances qui sera mise en œuvre dans le but de présenter ce cadre à la collectivité et aux donateurs potentiels. Une évaluatrice ou un évaluateur externe mesurera et évaluera l’impact du projet de changement systémique.
