What Fondation Ensemble Avec Vous (FEAV) does

Fondation Ensemble Avec Vous (FEAV), operating as Together With You Foundation, is a registered Canadian non-profit foundation headquartered in Gatineau, Quebec, with operations support in Ottawa, Ontario. The organization serves newcomers/immigrants, individuals in addiction and mental health recovery, and families in vulnerable situations across the National Capital Region. FEAV delivers services free of charge to clients, funded by individual donations, corporate sponsorships, and provincial government partnerships with CISSS/CIUSSS, RRR, and provincial settlement and labour programs.

FEAV's service portfolio is organized around two cornerstone programs. The Immigrant Success Strategy (ISS) integrates housing assistance, employment readiness, credential recognition, transportation access (via dealership and financing partnerships), and entrepreneurship mentorship. The Recovery & Mental Health Support program delivers addiction recovery services through recovery housing, relapse prevention, peer counseling, and reintegration programs, operated in partnership with RRR and provincial health services. A supplementary Empowerment & Connection layer adds life skills, financial literacy, and leadership development.

The go-to-market is community-led and event-driven, relying on a network of 30+ local organizations for referrals, volunteer recruitment, and pro bono skills contributions. Distribution combines direct in-person intake at the Gatineau office (Monday–Saturday), partner referrals across Quebec and Ontario, and an online donation portal with Stripe processing and tiered giving ($25–$2,000+). The technology surface is minimal: a WordPress-based website and donation e-commerce flow, with no proprietary platform, AI/ML capability, API, or mobile application disclosed. Formal 2025-2026 impact targets include 500 clients served, 200 placements into housing/employment, 75 families assisted, 50 new businesses launched, $150,000 in direct aid, 100 individuals stabilized in recovery, and operation of 3 government-partnered recovery homes.

Direct peers

• Resources for Immigrants in Ottawa (RIO): Ottawa-based immigrant settlement agency serving newcomers with housing, employment, and integration services. Directly comparable in the newcomer/immigrant customer segment and the bilingual Ottawa-area delivery setting.
• Maison de l'Amitié de Gatineau: Gatineau-based shelter and community support organization serving people experiencing homelessness and poverty. Direct geographic and population overlap with FEAV's housing/homelessness services in the same Outaouais region.
• The Ottawa Mission: Ottawa-based charity providing shelter, food, housing, and recovery support to vulnerable populations. Directly comparable in dual population focus (homelessness + addiction recovery) and Ottawa-side geography.
• Maison Fraternité: Quebec-based non-profit operating recovery and reintegration housing in the Montreal region. Directly comparable to FEAV's recovery housing work with RRR — same model (recovery housing + reintegration), same Quebec context, same addiction recovery population.
• Centraide Outaouais: Regional United Way serving the Outaouais/Gatineau area. Most direct comparability: same geography, nonprofit funding model, supports a broad network of social service agencies including those addressing poverty, homelessness, and integration in the bilingual NCR.

Emerging players

• Newcomer Centre of Peel: Canadian immigrant settlement non-profit serving newcomers with employment, housing, and integration supports. Comparable in segment focus (newcomers) and service model (housing-plus-employment bundling), though operating in a different region (Peel/GTA).

Regional players

• Pathstone Mental Health: Ontario-based mental health services provider for children, youth, and families. Comparable on the mental health/recovery side of FEAV's portfolio, particularly for Ontario-resident clients, though it does not focus on newcomers or recovery housing.

Broad incumbents

• Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH): Canada's largest mental health and addiction teaching hospital, providing recovery, housing, and rehabilitation services across Ontario. Broad incumbent — overlaps with FEAV's recovery/mental health programming but operates at vastly different scale and as a clinical provider rather than a community-based nonprofit.
