The Ontario First Nations Reaching Home Funding Initiative (OFNRHFI) empowers First Nation communities by providing funding to First Nations Administrations and/or First Nations organizations to deliver programming that helps prevent and reduce the immediate and lasting effects of homelessness.
The initiative is designed to assist First Nations in their service delivery and social integration projects to support their First Nation members in maintaining safe, stable, and affordable living situations while respecting cultural values and community-led solutions
First Nations homelessness requires culturally appropriate, tailored support and solutions developed and led by First Nations for First Nations. These supports will address community needs while generating insights using innovative, culturally specific approaches. The program is open to all First Nations communities and organizations.
Capital costs may be limited.
Only submissions from First Nations or First Nations organizations will be considered.
