Community Supports

If you are at risk of becoming homelessness, or need help keeping your housing, there are agencies that offer services if you are on a limited income or enduring financial hardship. Funding is also available if you are facing eviction due to rent and utility debts.

Community Homelessness Prevention Initiative

The Community Homelessness Prevention Initiative (CHPI) gives funding to emergency and preventive supports and programs within the community. Funds are given to people who experience homelessness, are at risk of homelessness, and need help moving along the housing continuum. These funds can help with rental and mortgage arrears, utility arrears and connections, rental deposits and other resources needed to retain sustainable housing.
