The organization’s Reaching Home Coordinator Laura Wallis talks about one of the two streams the Corporation is administering which is called the Rural and Remote Homelessness Stream. She explains the Rural and Remote Funding Stream is for projects across Manitoba that take place outside of Winnipeg, Brandon and Thompson and they can be on or off reserve and the reason Thompson is excluded from Rural and Remote is because they have their own designated Stream.
There is also an Indigenous Homelessness Stream, which is funding for projects delivered by Indigenous organizations to address the needs of the off-reserve homeless Indigenous population.
The deadline to send in proposals for either stream is April 13th. More information is available at www.bnrc.ca and click on homelessness prevention.
