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.

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.
