Through this 33-month systemic change project, Huronia Transition Homes will help advance women’s economic security and prosperity through systemic change. Specifically, the project will address systemic barriers to economic security faced by women who have survived violence. The project will do this by engaging with a newly developed local network that will inform the design of a Basic Income Guarantee (BIG) Framework. The network will bring together municipalities, academic institutions, social services, women with lived experience, regional committees, and the local health unit to work collectively to advance the BIG framework in North Simcoe. In collaboration with this network, the organization will conduct research, develop the Basic Income Guaranteed (BIG) framework, and develop a knowledge translation strategy that will be implemented to present the framework to the community and potential supporters. An external evaluator will measure and assess the impact of the systemic change project.
