The objective of this evaluative participatory research project of fifteen months had a dual purpose: to participate in the development of knowledge about homelessness among women in peri-urban and rural settings and to promote continuous improvement of practices based on the experiences of women who are homeless or at risk of homelessness.
 
The research report titled Evaluative and participatory study on the emerging practice of Maison de Sophia and its effect on women who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless in the territory of the MRC de La Rivière-du-Nord presents the results of research whose principal objective aimed to understand how the emerging practice of Maison de Sophia contributes to preventing and reducing homelessness among women in the territory of the MRC de La Rivière-du-Nord.
