Urban health
In 2013, we partnered with the CHUM to launch the
Projet de réaffiliation en itinérance et santé mentale
(PRISM Cogeco), an innovative care model designed to
improve the lives of homeless people diagnosed with
a chronic mental illness.
Providing access to mental and physical
health services is vital to helping home-
less people get off the street.
The challenges faced by homeless men
and women when accessing health
services include obtaining a proper
discharge plan and medical follow-up
appointments. To address the issue,
we’ve worked to set up and develop
urban health services in partnership
with public health.

and who suffer from serious mental health disorders.
Through this same partnership with the CIUSSS du Centre-Sud-

Services tailored
to women
Our mandate is to provide the most vulnerable wom-
en in our community with unconditional access
to life changing services. Every day, we strive to
find solutions that will help women reclaim their
rightful place in the community. To do so, we com-
bine the strengths of our team, our partners, and
the women who take part in our services.
When it comes to services tailored to women,
there is a serious lack of funding; yet the need
is urgent. Finding public funding is essential to
diversify our sources of revenue as well as to de-
velop and expand our services. It is also crucial
that we establish more housing and health-care
partnerships to be able to refer women to the
appropriate resources.
