The Government of Canada is committed to preventing and reducing Veteran homelessness in Canada. Veterans have served our country courageously and they deserve a safe and affordable place to call home. In taking action to address the fact that thousands of Veterans experience homelessness every year, the Government of Canada is launching a dedicated Veteran Homelessness Program. The Veteran Homelessness Program provides housing supports and services to Veterans experiencing, or at risk of homelessness.

The Capacity Building Stream provides $6.2 million in funding for research on Veteran homelessness and supports capacity building in the homelessness-serving sector to help those organizations respond to the needs of Veterans. The maximum level of financial support that will be approved per project or initiative will not exceed $1.5 million over 5 years.
