Young Women’s Reactions to Using the “My Game Plan” Tool at the Logis Rose Virginie Women’s Residential Centre

The Logis Rose-Virginie piloted a project titled Prévention à l'itinérance des jeunes femmes de 18 à 25 ans.
 
This 16-month project was to pilot, develop, implement, and disseminate the results of action research on homelessness prevention applied to a cohort of 10 young women aged 18-25 who are homeless, at risk of becoming homeless or becoming so again in the context of a residential residence for women in difficulty in Montreal, Quebec.
 
The project, applied an intervention model with the aim of seeing the lives of vulnerable and marginalized clients transformed, by obtaining a degree and/or employment in order to ultimately find a stable job, achieve their personal goals, gain their autonomy, participate and integrate into the social and economic life of our society.             
 
Through this project has allowed the organization to have a greater understanding of current problems related to young women in difficulty. In the same token, Logis Rose-Virginie has a better understanding of their behaviour, profile and their background to offer clients interventions tailored to their needs.
 
This project was funded in part by the Government of Canada's Homelessness Partnering Strategy’s Innovative Solutions to Homelessness program. The opinions and interpretations provided in the publications are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect those of the Government of Canada.
