(COVID-19) Strengthening Communities' Services Program

Within the Safe Restart funding, $100 million is being delivered through the Strengthening Communities' Services Program, which aims to support unsheltered homeless populations and address related community impacts through an application-based program.

The goal of this program is to support local governments and Treaty First Nations that wish to take action, understanding that this will complement parallel provincial efforts. To be eligible for funding, applications must demonstrate that proposed activities meet one or more of the intended outcomes of the program, and all of the following: demonstrate evidence of need in the community (eg unsheltered homeless population estimates, housing needs report, community concerns about public health and safety) and provide a rationale for how these issues have been exacerbated by COVID-19; provide temporary solutions that address increased urgent and immediate needs related to unsheltered homelessness and do not create ongoing long-term financial obligations that will not be supported by the applicant.
