The EWAKA 2SLGBTIQ Refugees Housing Project is a community-led initiative led by Raricanow, that aims to address the housing needs of Black 2SLGBTIQ+ refugees and newcomers who face significant challenges in accessing safe and inclusive housing. These individuals come from refugee camps and countries where it is illegal to express their gender identity and sexual orientation and where they face persecution and even death. The project seeks to create a sustainable housing solution that empowers 2SLGBTIQ+ refugees and gender diverse folks. It promotes their well-being and integration into Canadian society while providing comprehensive settlement support services, including mental health support, employment assistance, and legal support in partnership with other community organizations.
BLACK IDEA GRANT
This project is a response to the critical issues of housing insecurity, discrimination, and lack of tailored support faced by marginalized communities within our midst.
The EWAKA Housing Project aims to create safe and inclusive housing solutions that respect the identities and experiences of all individuals. Through collaborative partnerships, cultural sensitivity, and community engagement, we strive to foster a welcoming environment where everyone can feel empowered and find a sense of belonging.
Join us in this journey towards promoting inclusivity, combating discrimination, and advocating for the rights of marginalized individuals within the 2SLGBTIQ+ community. Together, we can create positive change and build a more supportive and equitable community for all.
