Description:
Through this 24-month project, Hamilton Trans Health Coalition Inc. (HTHC) will build stronger capacity of 2SLGBTQI+ community organizations and networks to advance 2SLGBTQI+ equality. It will address: the barriers that exist for trans, gender-diverse, and non-binary people who have been denied the necessary educational and professional development opportunities due to intersectional systemic oppressions; the gaps in best practices by developing a model employment program that lowers barriers to entry; the barriers that exist for low-income individuals seeking gender affirming health care and; the need to make it easier for communities of any size to follow in HTHC footsteps to build much-needed local capacity by sharing these best practices widely. The project will include a) the review of job descriptions, classifications, pay grids, volunteer program and succession planning; b) the study of the feasibility of a social enterprise to fund continued systems navigation through fee-for-service skill-building engagements with non-healthcare employers; c) establish and support innovative partnerships and planning activities that could, after this project and using newly identified resources, sustainably address gender affirming health needs of low-income individuals excluded from private care; d) refine human resources policies and strengthen employee supports and internal career pathing practices; and e) develop & disseminate HTHC start-up guide.
