Enhancing the Capacity of Violence Against Women Shelters and Transition Houses to Respond and to Recovery from COVID-19

EF 2021-22 · 2021-07-28

Résumé
This 32-month project will support the capacity of violence against women shelters and transition houses to deliver essential programs and services in response to the ongoing health and safety crisis posed by the COVID-19 pandemic. It will enhance the ability of shelters and transition houses to adapt and re-design essential programs and services as necessary while responding to specific capacity and community needs. It will also enable shelters and transition houses to maintain operations both during and after the pandemic and continue to serve the needs of women, girls, LGBTQ2, and gender non-binary people experiencing violence to advance gender equality in Canada. Women’s Shelters Canada (WSC) will engage and consult with key stakeholders in order to implement a fair, transparent, and efficient process to distribute funding to shelters and transition houses across Canada, outside of Quebec. This funding aims to address the specific needs of shelters and transition houses and ensure they are better equipped to respond to local and emerging contexts, both during and after the pandemic. WSC will coordinate the gathering and consolidation of information from funding Recipients to determine how and to what extent the funding has impacted their organizational capacity to respond to and recover from the COVID-19 pandemic. Other activities may be undertaken, as needed, including the communication of results, dissemination of knowledge, and sharing of best practices among shelters and transition houses across Canada.

Description (French)
Ce projet de 32 mois soutiendra la capacité des maisons d’hébergement et des maisons de transition qui accueillent des femmes victimes de violence à offrir des programmes et des services essentiels destinés à endiguer la crise de santé et de sécurité découlant de la pandémie de COVID-19. Il améliorera la capacité des maisons d’hébergement et des maisons de transition à adapter et à remanier leurs programmes et services essentiels selon les circonstances tout en répondant à des besoins précis concernant les capacités et la communauté. Il permettra également aux maisons d’hébergement et aux maisons de transition de maintenir leurs activités pendant et après la pandémie et de continuer à répondre aux besoins des femmes, des filles, des personnes LGBTQ2 et des personnes non binaires victimes de violence afin de faire progresser l’égalité des genres au Canada. Hébergement femmes Canada (HFC) mobilisera et consultera les principales parties prenantes afin de mettre en œuvre un processus juste, transparent et efficace pour distribuer le financement aux maisons d’hébergement et aux maisons de transition partout au Canada, à l’exception du Québec. Ce financement vise à répondre aux besoins précis des maisons d’hébergement et des maisons de transition et à leur donner les moyens de mieux s’équiper pour s’adapter aux contextes locaux et nouveaux, à la fois pendant et après la pandémie. HFC coordonnera la collecte d’information auprès des bénéficiaires de financement et le regroupement de cette information afin de déterminer comment et dans quelle mesure le financement a eu une incidence sur leur capacité de réagir à la pandémie de COVID-19 et de se rétablir après celle-ci. D’autres activités peuvent être entreprises, au besoin, comme la communication des résultats, la diffusion des connaissances et l’échange de pratiques exemplaires entre les maisons d’hébergement et les maisons de transition partout au Canada.
Expected Results
Women and stakeholders have access to supports to address issues relating to equality between women and men.
Expected Results (French)
