Oct 29, 2024 - Mar 31, 2027

Through this 29-month project, Nova Vita Women’s Shelter Incorporated will help advance women’s economic security and prosperity through systemic change. Specifically, the project will address barriers within the social service and justice sectors related to the current policies and practices of removing women and children from their homes, communities, schools, and workplaces due to high conflict and intimate partner violence. The project will achieve this by developing and putting in place a cross-sectoral, community-based Safe at Home (SAH) model in Brantford, Ontario. This will entail 1) gathering input from individuals with lived experience and community stakeholders to inform the design of the SAH model; 2) developing an operational framework for the model; 3) training sectoral partners on the SAH model and monitoring their uptake of the same; and 4) refining the model based on monitoring results. An external evaluator will measure and assess the impact of this systemic change project.
