If you belong to an organization, or non-profit group that has an idea to provide assistance for the homeless in the community, a chance to put your plan to work with Government of Canada funding is now available.
Prince Rupert Aboriginal Community Services Society which works on a range of homelessness issues in the community has outlined the scope of the 2022-23 funding stream currently being offered through the Government of Canada.
The focus for the program is to offer financial assistance to organizations that have a project idea to improve the lives of Indigenous people experiencing homelessness, or at risk of homelessness.
Projects can be large or small, but all must provide for initiatives that will address homelessness themes in the community and help to provide solutions to that growing issue of concern in Prince Rupert.
