Chapter 2 - Eva’s National Initiative Program
Eva’s National Initiative Program
Funded by the Hamilton Community Foundation, the National Initiative Program was created to share the lessons learned by the staff and youth at Eva's Phoenix with other groups across Canada. The hope is that they will be able to benefit from these learnings to develop their own models of housing, employment training and mentorship support to assist homeless and at-risk youth in their own communities.
As a first step a formal evaluation was conducted that highlighted many of the elements of success of Eva’s Phoenix. The second phase of the National Initiative includes this toolkit of resources, designed to support programs across the country that can benefit from our experience and the lessons learned. The third phase will be the creation of a national learning network – a collaborative initiative to strengthen the practice of delivering integrated programs to homeless youth among organizations across Canada.
