I would suggest contacting the Ontario Women's Health Network (OWHN) in Toronto, as well as the Asset Mapping Research Project (AMRP) of the Toronto Christian Resource Centre. In 2005-06 OWHN led an inclusion research project called "Count Us In" in partnership with AMRP, Toronto Public Health and Ontario Prevention Clearinghouse (OPC), which looked at inclusion and homeless women in downtown east Toronto.
From the Executive Summary:
The purpose of this project, called Count Us In!, was to investigate how health
and social services in Toronto, and in the province of Ontario, can be made
more inclusive, and in turn, promote the health and well-being of
marginalized groups. Homeless and underhoused women who live in
Downtown East Toronto led the research and were actively engaged in all
stages of the project, from collecting and analysing the data to developing the
final recommendations.
Check out www.owhn.on.ca for the report and related documents. The people to contact would be Tekla Hendrickson of OWHN at [log in to unmask] and Adonica Huggins of AMRP at [log in to unmask] .
