Close-up on two supported agencies
in key sectors

Tasiutigiit
For over 30 years, this agency has helped non-Indigenous families who adopt
or foster Inuit, Métis or First Nations children. It runs support groups, workshops,
cultural camps, and activities to help children reconnect with their Indigenous
identity and maintain ties with their home community. In 2024-2025, it received
financial support from Centraide for the first time to reinforce its support for
these youths and their families.
Cuisine et vie collective Saint-Roch
Located in Parc-Extension, this agency supports the food self-sufficiency of
people and families in the neighbourhood, most of whom are migrants or asylum
seekers. For over 30 years, it has been creating a solid network of mutual aid
through collective kitchens, training, and community activities that boost
social inclusion. In 2024-2025, it received financial support from Centraide
for the first time to scale up its actions to help people who are food-insecure
or experiencing social vulnerability.

Non-permanent residents
Centraide is continuing its significant financial support with over
$1 million that will go toward services for asylum seekers, people
without status, and people who are temporarily residing in Canada,
including temporary workers.
This investment addresses an urgent social emergency, as the territory
still has pressing needs. These populations are the most vulnerable in
our society, as they experience systemic barriers, extremely precarious
situations, and critical living conditions while also facing rising—and
often hidden—homelessness and limited access to basic services. This
increased funding will help community agencies reinforce their ability
to advocate for these people’s rights and strengthen essential direct
services. The overall goal is to address a social reality that requires fast,
concrete and ongoing action.
