Congratulations to Dr. Eric Latimer, who has been awarded a Partnership Development Grant from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) for the project The Québec homelessness prevention policy collaborative: Phase II of a successful partnership. This work, co-directed by Eric Latimer and James Hughes (Old Brewery Mission), is being carried out by a team of 15 co-applicants and is being developed with 6 partners.
This grant will support the activities of a partnership, focused on homelessness prevention, between community organizations in the homelessness sector (mainly Old Brewery Mission, Québec’s largest non-profit in that sector) and academia (mainly McGill University.) The partnership is articulated through several working groups, each focusing on a specific subpopulation at risk of experiencing homelessness: women fleeing domestic violence, people leaving the correctional system, people facing evictions, people with mental illness, etc.
The team is made up of Eric Latimer and James Hughes, co-directors, and 13 co-applicants:
- Anne Crocker, Montréal University
