The Reaching Home coordinator with the Brandon Neighbourhood Renewal Corporation spoke to Arctic Radio about the two funding streams they’re administering to address homelessness in Manitoba.
Laura Wallis says the organization is overseeing the Rural and Remote Homelessness Stream, which is for eligible organizations that are not located in Winnipeg, Brandon, or Thompson, as those cities have their own dedicated streams for projects.
There is also an Indigenous Homelessness Stream, which is funding for projects delivered by Indigenous organizations to address the needs of the off-reserve homeless Indigenous population.
The deadline to send in proposals for either stream is April 13th.
