À chaque mois, nous abordons un thème différent avec un mot de la direction ainsi que de courtes vignettes portant sur les fonds, les philanthropes et les organismes qui forment la communauté de la FGM en se mettant à l’écoute et au service de la communauté du Grand Montréal.
The Montreal-based organization Chez Doris provides a day shelter, seven days a week, for women in difficulty. The house provides meals, respite, clothing, socio-recreational activities and practical assistance in a secure and accepting environment. As of this past year, it has been providing 24-hour service during the winter (from December 1, 2020 to March 31, 2021). Chez Doris offers a safe and judgment-free environment for all women in need, with a high level of confidentiality.
In 2020, Chez Doris was funded by the Fonds Michael Novak 1, phase 1 of the Emergency Community Support Fund, and the COVID-19 Collective Fund.
With a contribution of $15,000 from the COVID-19 Collective Fund, Chez Doris was planning to house 25 homeless women by March 31, 2021. A housing and support services specialist worked on finding a place to live suited to the needs of each woman, and provided them with furniture, the deposit on the rent (if necessary) and a startup kit (cleaning products and a variety of other items), as well as any necessary followup help.
