Hi Natalie- we don't have such an Advisory group here except for the
Harm Reduction Peer Advisors and their role is very limited. However I
believe Parkdale's PARC would probably have some sort of group and have
experience you are looking for. (did you apply at Shout?)-good luck-d

Hello,

I am looking for advice about building effective advisory groups with 

people who have experienced homelessness.  The project that I work for 

is reorganizing its Client Advisory Board to be more effective.  Do  
any of you have experience building or sustaining these groups with  
consumers/clients/communities and are willing to share this with me?  

I am looking for information regarding criteria for selection of  
members and providing compensation/honoraria, as well as other points 

that specifically relate to engaging people experiencing homelessness.

Thanks,
Natalie
