Reaching Home is a community-based program that provides funding to help prevent and reduce homelessness across Canada. The Ontario First Nations Reaching Home Funding Initiative (OFNRHFI) empowers First Nation communities by providing funding to help them prevent and reduce homelessness. Reaching Home is designed to support the goals of the First Nations Housing Strategy, by supporting First Nations members in maintaining safe, stable, and affordable housing while respecting cultural values and community-led solutions.
