Reaching Home

The BNRC is currently in a 5 year Agreement with the Government of Canada to deliver three streams of funding through the federal government’s Homelessness Strategy called Reaching Home:

• Brandon
• Indigenous for Rural Manitoba
• Rural and Remote (excluding Brandon/Thompson)

Reaching Home is a critical aspect of the Government’s National Housing Strategy.  The ultimate goal of the Strategy is to reduce chronic homelessness nationally by 50% by the fiscal year 2027 to 2028.

The BNRC is responsible for hosting Calls for Proposals (CFPS) to solicit requests for investment to address homelessness.  When CFPs are open the applications will be available on this website.  Once proposals are received, a Board representing each of the three funding streams reviews the proposals and makes funding recommendations.  The BNRC then negotiates funding Agreements, undertakes risk assessments, and monitors each project’s implementation to ensure compliance with Reaching Home goals.

Each funding stream consults with a Community Advisory Board who provide guidance and recommendations for projects.
