To fight the social exclusion of troubled young people.

Fund distribution

1. DEVELOP PROGRAMS TO FIGHT SOCIAL EXCLUSION: $5,000,000
   • Keep young people from dropping out of society
     • Develop the expertise to address the difficulties underlying their problems, which include homelessness, vagrancy, violence, gambling, substance abuse, etc.
     • Develop the means to create a stable emotional environment through leisure activities, get-togethers, sports, outdoor recreation, music, art, reading, cooking, games, parties, etc.
   • Encourage them to return to their families or provide them with access to affordable housing
     • In the case of minors: mediation and follow-up after a family break up with the aim of helping them return to their families, when the situation is favourable.
     • In the case of young adults: post-stay follow-up; access to social housing or supervised apartments; help in finding housing and developing life skills (budgeting, collective cooking, etc.)
   • Encourage their return to an active life
     • Empowerment: develop the tools they need to become self-sufficient so that they themselves can turn their lives around.
     • Citizenship education, empowerment, accountability support after being expulsed from school, help in returning to school, literacy training, etc.
     • Employability: creating work platforms and micro-enterprises for their economic and social integration, supporting youth as they seek and maintain employment, helping them learn a trade, etc.
   • The Auberges currently have four economic and social integration micro-enterprises and three work platforms. Every year, 137 young people gain access to affordable supervised or non-supervised housing, thus giving them the means to gradually become more independent.


2. CREATE AN ENDOWMENT FUND $2,000,000
• Interest from the endowment fund will be used to develop and improve the best intervention practices used among disadvantaged youth.


3. RUN AN AWARENESS CAMPAIGN $1,000,000
• Goal: to familiarize the general public, business community and governments with the vital work carried out by the shelters.


4. MAINTAIN CURRENT PROGRAMS AND CORE FUNDING $8,000,000
   • Note: The 30 shelters of the network will raise this sum in their respective communities.

Funding of the Auberges du cœur in 2010

This five-year capital campaign will give the Foundation the time it needs to diversify its fundraising programs so that it may ensure the continued viability of the shelters and the Foundation. This will be done by enhancing its direct marketing programs, increasing the number of donors, developing recurring major fundraising events and consolidating its strategic and corporate partnerships.
