Description:

Through this 28-month project, the Toronto People With AIDS Foundation, in collaboration with partners, will build their capacity by creating a community HIV/STBBI Hub to advance the health and social equality of Black, Indigenous, racialized and other marginalized 2SLGBTQI+ community members living with or at risk of HIV∕AIDS and other STBBIs in Toronto. This project will address the intersectionalities of race, sexual orientation, immigration status, gender and other lived identities that make these communities more vulnerable to racism, stigma and discrimination; STBBI acquisition; poorer physical and mental health outcomes; homelessness and poverty, among others. The project will include the coordination of a Community Advisory Committee, development and implementation of Hub Operational Model and Operating Agreements, development and coordination of community-driven evaluation plan, and integration of fundraising and other back-office functions across the Hub partners. The project's success will be evaluated through feedback from the Community Advisory Committee and Hub partners, and regular reviews of organizational capacity and strategic goals.
