Federal Government Seeks Provincial Partnerships to Address Homelessness
On September 18, 2024, Minister Sean Fraser sent a letter to all provinces and territories, proposing a partnership with the federal government to address homelessness and encampments. The proposal included an offer of $250 million in additional funding, contingent on the provinces and territories matching the contributions. This funding is part of the federal government's Budget 2024 initiative aimed at tackling encampments and unsheltered homelessness.
