REACHING HOME -  RURAL

The Rural and Remote Homelessness funding stream provides project funding to all non-
Designated Communities. Non Designated Communities include any community outside of the Designated Communities and Territorial Homelessness streams, regardless of the size of community.


The projects help to prevent and reduce homelessness in the community. The projects should also have broad community support and meet the Reaching home program requirements as established at the Federal level:
