The 2SLGBTQ+ Youth Housing Toolkit was created to support organizations and groups in developing housing for queer youth. The Toolkit provides resources for every stage of development and is built from extensive research, evaluation, and input from a range of similar housing initiatives across North America. The Toolkit is separated into six key areas: 1) Building a Foundation; 2) Designing your Program; 3) Staffing; 4) Intaking Youth; 5) Programming & Support Services; and 6) Documents & Resources. Users can navigate easily between the different sections depending on their housing model and stages of development.
The Mapping Canada’s 2SLGBTQI+ Movement: Growth, Capacity, and Futures project was led by The Enchanté Network | Le Réseau Enchanté (TEN) in collaboration with the University of Saskatchewan’s Social Innovation Lab and Psystem. This project provides insight into the work of 2SLGBTQI+ community, education, and resource centres across Canada. It specifically focuses on their capacity, operations, governance, programming, and finances, and the impact of COVID-19 throughout the past few years.
Chronic underfunding of 2SLGBTQ+ organizations hurts gender and sexually diverse people and demonstrates a missed opportunity for funders to drive equitable, intersectional, and sustainable change in order of everyone within the country, especially those who are the most marginalized, to exact their full potential. The funding landscape only changes at the hands of grantmakers and so this report is primarily directed at government funders, including federal, provincial, and municipal bodies. The recommendations are applicable to a broader audience, aiming to improve the funding processes and procedures of all grantmakers.
JusticeTrans’ project 2STNBGN Perspectives on Access to Justice is a mixed-method research study. It seeks to understand Two Spirit, trans, non-binary and gender nonconforming (2STNBGN) people’s access to justice needs across Canada, with a particular focus on the barriers faced by 2STNBGN people within formal legal systems.
This study was led by the Queer Seniors of Saskatchewan (QSoS), a non-profit organization for 2SLGBTQ+ older adults that focuses on improving the quality of life for queer older adults across the province. The collected data was provided to the Social Innovation Lab (SIL) on Gender and Sexuality at the University of Saskatchewan. SIL worked in collaboration with QSoS to develop this report.
