The Indigenous Reaching Home Program is a federally operated initiative that supports communities in reducing chronic urban Indigenous homelessness.
Overview
The Reaching Home Project is a program of Service Canada which distributes funding to organizations that work to reduce the amount of people in Canada experiencing chronic homelessness.
The MNFC is the Community Entity for the Indigenous stream of this national initiative, and we work with the Indigenous Community Advisory Board to allocate funding to organizations with the focus of reducing the amount of chronically homeless urban Indigenous peoples.
Funded projects recognize the unique needs of the urban Indigenous community, and provide wrap around supports to the reduce the existing barriers to secure and culturally appropriate housing.

Housing Services (housing attainment, short-term rental assistance, and housing set-up)
Prevention & Shelter Diversion
Client Support Services (basic need support)
