Where Hope Begins

A response to the call arose from a cry of urgency

In May 2023, a large number of African refugees arrived in the province of Ontario, without access to essential services, particularly housing.

Many found themselves on the streets of Toronto, while the various levels of government debated their responsibilities.

The following winter, without any concrete solution, many were left homeless. We lost lives.

In March 2024, La Passerelle-I.D.É. and Delta Family Center launched a pilot project entitled ‘Rapid Response’ to meet the basic needs of homeless African refugees exposed to major risks.

This tragedy has given rise to a firm determination to build a lasting solution.

 

This is how L'Agapanthe - Maison de transition de La Passerelle-I.D.É. was born!

L'Agapanthe - Maison de Transition de La Passerelle-I.D.É. was born out of an urgent and long-ignored need: to provide culturally adapted 50-bed transitional housing, in French, for Francophone African refugees arriving in Ontario.

L'Agapanthe is part of La Passerelle-I.D.É.'s long-standing commitment to the economic development and integration of racialized Francophone refugees. The centre offers comprehensive, culturally adapted support designed by, and for, Francophone African refugees.

L'Agapanthe embodies a new model of transition home and fills a gap in the services offered to Francophone African refugees in Ontario. We're not just providing a place to stay, we're creating an environment where everyone can access the tools, networks and opportunities they need to succeed.
