A grassroots community organization of Côte-des-Neiges, a culturally diverse Montréal neighbourhood, where over 40% of households live below the poverty line. Project Genesis stands with people on low incomes as they face some of their most difficult challenges, such as housing problems, access to pensions and welfare, and access to income supplement programs such as family benefits. For 29 years we have provided support in ways that favour participation, inclusion and social justice, through connecting individual services with community organizing, and by engaging a vibrant volunteer and member base.
