Help in finding housing, French schools

This housing search and francophone school program works through Gaffo-facilitated matching between volunteers and women and their newcomer children in Toronto who want to settle in the Scarborough area.

These volunteers help new immigrant women in the housing search process and assist them with interpreting to facilitate communication between them and various funders.

As the Gaffo is a Francophone organization, it also promotes the French language and encourages francophone immigrant women who use its services to enroll their children in the Francophone school system in order to transmit our Francophone values to our children and thus perpetuate our language and our cultural values as the francophone minority in Ontario. Parents not only receive information about French schools, but are also accompanied by our volunteers in the various stages to obtain registration for children.
