Upcoming Housing Initiative (Winter 2024)
Vivi'r LGBTQ+ is dedicated to supporting the well-being of Spanish-speaking LGBTQ+ newcomers in Canada. We understand the challenges faced by transgender individuals, particularly those who are new to the country. That's why we're excited to announce the upcoming launch of our
Short-Term Affordable Emergency and Transitional Shelter
​
This shelter, opening in Winter 2024, will provide temporary housing and support services specifically tailored to the needs of Spanish-speaking transgender refugees and new immigrants.
Why is this important?
-
Transgender individuals are more likely to experience discrimination and marginalization based on their gender identity, leading to higher rates of poverty and homelessness.
-
Refugees and new immigrants may lack established social networks, making them more vulnerable to housing insecurity.
Our Shelter Services:
-
Safe and secure temporary housing
-
Needs assessment and support services
-
Culturally sensitive support for Spanish-speaking individuals
Eligibility
-
Spanish-speaking transgender refugee or new immigrant to Canada
-
Demonstrated need for housing assistance
*Please note: This information is subject to change as we finalize the program details.
