Reaching Home: Canada's Homelessness Strategy is a federal program that funds community organizations and municipalities to address homelessness. The program supports a range of services including emergency shelters, transitional housing, supportive housing, and prevention programs. Funding flows to designated communities, Indigenous communities, and rural and remote areas. A distinctive feature is the emphasis on coordinated access systems and Housing First approaches that prioritize getting people into permanent housing quickly. Communities must develop local homelessness plans and use common data systems. Reaching Home represents the federal government's main financial contribution to homelessness services, complementing provincial and municipal investments.
