Supportive Living Community Partnership Program

The Supportive Living Community Partnership Program, an initiative funded through the Poverty Reduction Strategy, provides operating grants to non-profit organizations to increase community capacity and provide a range of services and supports that promotes housing stability and promotes community capacity building on matters relating to housing and homelessness.

The Program supports a Housing First approach, which recognizes housing stability is critical to enhancing positive outcomes of other interventions that promote wellness, inclusion and self-sufficiency.

The Supportive Living Community Partnership Program is an interdepartmental initiative and supports the goals of:

• the Poverty Reduction Strategy
• the Social Housing Plan

Who Does it Serve?

Community agencies that support individuals who intersect multiple service provider systems and whose circumstances often result in them continuously cycling through social, correctional, mental health and/or addiction services. This population is often in crisis due to a lack of available affordable housing options and experience reliance on emergency shelter services on a regular basis.

Program Intent

Grants available to non-profit organizations are expected to meet one or more of following objectives:

• Assist individuals with complex service needs to find and remain in safe, affordable, stable housing.
• Support individuals with complex service needs to achieve greater self-determination by supporting the conditions which promote housing stability and increase skills and/or income to secure an income to live as independently as possible.
• Provide opportunities through a range of supportive living services to complement existing services and/or to help address a gap in services to support the stabilization of persons experiencing homelessness and/or multiple barriers to permanent/long term housing.
• Support community capacity building activities/projects, which will assist in the identification and development of a range of supportive living services necessary to prevent and address homelessness for individuals with complex service needs.
