Community Plan on Homelessness

The Municipality works with the Government of Alberta, the Government of Canada and local non-profit and social profit organizations to address homelessness in the region.

Funding Allocation Process

The Request for Information (RFI) is offered annually to agencies delivering intensive case management, housing support programs, assertive community treatment, outreach and permanent supportive housing programs. The Homelessness Initiative Strategic Committee (HISC) reviews the applications to ensure they align with HISC identified priorities and funding criteria. 

The HISC presents its recommendations to Council. When Council approves an application, the recipient signs a funding agreement with the municipality.

Allocation Eligibility

Allocation of the funding is assigned to non-profit organizations based on:

  • Their ability, capacity and knowledge in delivering of services that align with evidence-based community trends and needs.
  • The Homelessness Initiative Strategic Committee (HISC) and community priorities at the time (i.e., intensive case management, housing support programs, assertive community treatment, outreach, and permanent supportive housing programs).
  •  The annual funding stream criteria, eligibility and directives.

Key dates and timelines

Funding is distributed annually and the process for allocation is based on Federal and Provincial timelines each year.

General conditions

The Municipality has the authority to examine the records of successful recipients at any time to ensure that grant funds are being used in the manner originally agreed upon. Any funds not used for the project as described in the agreement may need to be returned.
