The Canadian AIDS Society and our partners our pleased to invite you to a webinar session looking at housing as harm reduction for at-risk women. The presentation will focus on Brigid’s Place, a transitional housing program in Ottawa, Ontario that provides housing to eleven at-risk women.

This presentation will discuss the initial development of Brigid's Place, as well as the challenges and successes of this type of program.
This presentation will be about 40 minutes long with 20 minutes for Q&A at the end.
