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.
Founded in 1988, Dans la rue comes to the aid of youth who are homeless or in precarious situations. The causes and day-to-day realities of youth homelessness are different from those of adult homelessness; and so different solutions are needed. With dedication, empathy and respect, the organization tends to their immediate needs and works with them so that they can acquire the competencies and resources they need in order to live fuller and more autonomous lives.
In practice, that means offering services like the Bunker, a secure emergency shelter for men and women, open every night; la Roulotte, a mobile operation that welcomes youths and gives them information on services offered; a day centre, offering specially adapted services, meals and constructive activities; as well as 17 permanent housing units for young people seeking a fresh start. All of these approaches offer the respite, listening, health care, support and security they need in order to be able to start building a future.
In 2020, Dans la rue received support from Fonds Fondation Jean E. et Lucille Douville and Fondation Famille Morency, as well as from the Chamandy Foundation, Michael and Michaeleen O’Connor, and Beatrice Enid Patterson Foundation Funds.
