Subject: [homeles_ot-l] HRSDC consultation on future of federal
homelessnessfunding

 

                         (ce  message suivra en Francais) 

In September 2008, the federal government announced a five-year, $1.9
billion funding commitment for housing and homelessness through to 2014 and
a two-year renewal of the Homelessness Partnering Strategy (HPS) through to
2011.  At that time, the government also committed to engaging provinces,
territories and stakeholders on how best to use and allocate federal funding
for homelessness beyond 2011.  

The federal government is currently doing consultations with respect to
homelessness investments between 2011 and 2014.  Input is sought on how the
current federal approach to addressing homelessness could be improved to
better serve Canadians. 

Attached, you will find a Consultation Paper that sets out the broad
questions that will be examined through the review of federal housing and
homelessness investments.  The document addresses both housing and
homelessness issues.

The Government of Canada will accept e-mail submissions regarding the broad
questions identified in the consultation document, at
SPLI-HPS_Consultation2009 at hrsdc-rhdsc.gc.ca   until October 15, 2009.

(Colleen Hendrick, the City of Ottawa's Manager of Policy, Evaluation and
Community Partnerships Branch, will be attending a consultation to provide
the City's input.  Some of her key messages will be that more integration is
needed between the various federal and provincial programs; that a funding
stream is needed to provide supports with housing for individuals with
special needs including mental health issues, addictions, concurrent
disorders etc.; that a national housing strategy is required along with
funding and policies to stimulate the creation of more affordable housing
and support services.)
