Reaching Home aims to reduce homelessness by working in partnership with communities, provinces and territories, other federal departments and the private and not-for-profit sectors. Through its community-based approach, Reaching Home provides communities with the flexibility and tools to identify and address their own distinct homelessness needs and priorities. Reaching Home funding is invested in local priorities identified by communities thorough a comprehensive community planning process involving a range of local stakeholders.
