“I’tesnen: We are Staying” – Qalipu Emergency Housing Relief Program

The Qalipu Emergency Housing Relief Program helps prevent and reduce homelessness among our members. Available supports include:

Program Supports:

• Emergency Housing Set-Up: Assistance with rental set-up costs, including first month’s rent and damage deposit.
• Prevention and Shelter Diversion: Help with rental or utility arrears to prevent eviction.
• Emergency Housing: Short-term placement for up to five (5) nights.

Eligibility Requirements:

Applicants (or co-applicants) must:

1. Be a registered member of Qalipu First Nation.
2. Identify as currently homeless or at risk of becoming homeless.
3. Be a resident of Newfoundland and Labrador.
4. Not own a home (this includes rent-to-own arrangements).
5. Not have received support from this program in the current fiscal year.

Important Information:

• Funding is limited, so this program is intended as a one-time support. Maximum allowable amounts apply.
• The landlord must not be an immediate relative of the applicant or co-applicant.
• Reimbursements for previously paid rent, damage deposits, hotel bills, or other housing-related expenses are not eligible.
• Only one application per household will be processed. Duplicate applications will be ignored; the first submitted application will be considered valid.
• If the rental agreement is in the name of a non-member spouse, partner, or co-applicant, you may still apply, but additional documentation will be required to verify that you reside in the same household.
