The Société de Développement Social piloted a project titled Action Médiation: programme d’intervention psychosociale en milieu urbain.
 
The objective of this 12-month project was to pilot and test an innovative intervention model, which includes a model for a coordination and collaboration agreement between the various partners, with the aim of reducing and preventing homelessness among people who use this urban space.
 
The project builds a common project to reach homeless people in order to help and accompany them in their social reintegration process while creating a synergy between the services offered (peer helper, shuttle, mobile clinic, etc.) and the development of an optimal cohabitation between all the stakeholders of this community.
 
This project was funded by the Government of Canada's Homelessness Partnering Strategy’s Innovative Solutions to Homelessness program. The opinions and interpretations provided in the publication are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect those of the Government of Canada.
