Shared Learnings on Homelessness

Eva’s Tool Kit was developed for groups and communities across the country that are concerned about homeless and at-risk youth and how to help them to re-integrate into society. Although the kit is based on the experiences of Eva's Phoenix, it was created with flexibility and adaptability in mind - groups can use it to help guide and inform their own work as they respond to the unique needs and opportunities in their own communities. http://www.evasinitiatives.com/EVAsToolKit/index.htm

The Toronto-based HomeComing Community Choice Coalition upholds the right of people with mental illness - and anyone else who faces "Not-In-My-Back Yard" discrimination - to live where they choose. www.homecomingcoalition.com/
