Rural and Remote Homelessness
The Rural and Remote Homelessness funding stream primarily targets smaller, non-designated communities located in rural and outlying areas. This funding is not available to the 61 designated communities.
Funding under this stream will be prioritized using a two-tiered approach, with priority being given to projects in communities with populations of 25,000 and under (Tier 1). Depending on the availability of funds, activities in larger, non-designated communities with populations above 25,000 (Tier 2) may also be funded.
To access this funding stream, applicants must demonstrate that the proposed project meets both a need in the community and has broad community support. Cost-matching by community partners is not required, although partnerships are encouraged. In addition, projects selected for funding must not create a dependency on, or expectation for, ongoing funding.
