Historique<\/h2>\n

Depuis 1988, Logifem h\u00e9berge et offre des soins aux femmes en difficult\u00e9 \u00e0 Montr\u00e9al.<\/p>\n

L\u2019organisme est n\u00e9 de la conscience sociale d\u2019un groupe d\u2019individus de l\u2019\u00c9glise anglicane Saint-Joseph, \u00e0 Brossard, au Qu\u00e9bec. Pr\u00e9occup\u00e9s par les besoins pressants des sans-abris \u00e0 Montr\u00e9al, en particulier des femmes, M. Irvine Benoy, \"Breaking-new-ground\"fondateur de Logifem, et plusieurs autres ont uni leurs efforts pour faire une diff\u00e9rence. En 1987, l\u2019id\u00e9e prenait forme et Logifem recevait sa premi\u00e8re cliente d\u00e8s d\u00e9cembre 1988.<\/p>\n

Lors de l\u2019ouverture de Logifem, le centre d’h\u00e9bergement avait plusieurs dortoirs pour maximiser l\u2019utilisation de l\u2019espace. Au fil des ans, nous avons reconnu que c\u2019\u00e9tait stressant pour les femmes qui vivent une crise, de devoir partager l\u2019espace. Nous avons fait des r\u00e9novations afin que chaque r\u00e9sidente dispose d\u2019une chambre priv\u00e9e.<\/p>\n

En 1993, nous avons ajout\u00e9 des appartements de transition \u00e0 notre liste de services, reconnaissant que pour certaines femmes, pour atteindre l\u2019ind\u00e9pendance, une deuxi\u00e8me phase comportant plus d\u2019autonomie tout en maintenant le soutien \u00e9tait n\u00e9cessaire.<\/p>\n

Services pour les enfants<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sachant qu\u2019il y avait tr\u00e8s peu de services \u00e0 Montr\u00e9al pour les femmes sans domicile avec enfants, nous avons investi dans nos services par la r\u00e9novation des chambres plus grandes pour mieux r\u00e9pondre aux besoins des familles, l\u2019ajout d\u2019une salle de jeux dans notre centre d’h\u00e9bergement, l\u2019embauche d\u2019intervenantes sp\u00e9cialis\u00e9s et l\u2019ajout en 2015 de six appartements de transition pour des m\u00e8res et leurs enfants.<\/p>\n

History<\/h2>

Logifem has provided shelter and care to women in difficulty in Montreal since 1988.<\/p>

The organization is a result of the social conscience of a group of individuals at Saint Joseph\u2019s Anglican Church in Brossard, \"\"Qu\u00e9bec. Being acutely aware of the urgent needs of the homeless in Montreal, particularly women, Mr. Irvine Benoy (Logifem\u2019s Founder) and others combined their efforts to make a real difference. In 1987 plans began to open a shelter and in December 1988 Logifem received its first client.<\/p>

Over the years, Logifem has gone on to specialise in providing longer term care to women in difficulty by allowing women and their children to stay in the shelter for up to a year. In partnership with the Office Municipale de l\u2019Habitation de Montr\u00e9al (OMHM) Logifem has access to seven apartments in which women can stay for up to five years, giving them the time, stability and support they require to rebuild their lives. Logifem also has an apartment that can be used by a single mother with children for up to three years, and while our focus remains on longer term care, Logifem also accepts women and their children in short term crisis situations.<\/p>

Mission<\/h3>

Logifem\u2019s mission is to help and empower women in difficulty (with or without children) with physical, social, emotional, psychological and spiritual needs to face the future with strength, courage, hope and dignity.<\/p>
