The CRD is inviting proposals from applicant organizations based in the Victoria Census Metropolitan Region and engaged in providing services to homeless individuals and families. Reaching Home: Canada’s Homelessness Strategy is a community-based program aimed at reducing and preventing homelessness. Officially launched April 1, 2019, this federal homelessness program is supporting the most vulnerable people in the Capital Region by improving access to safe, stable and affordable housing.  The CRD is the Community Entity for Reaching Home and administers this funding in the Capital Region.

This Call for Proposals (CFP) is for Designated Communities funding for the period of April 1, 2021 – March 31, 2022. Applicants can also apply for multi-year funding, ending March 31, 2024.
