Update Regarding Emergency Housing Support Fund – Emergency Repairs Portion of the Fund has been Exhausted

The word NEWS written in vintage wooden letterpress type in a wooden type drawer.

The Emergency Housing Support Program, offered by the band in partnership with Reaching Home Indigenous NL and Reaching Home Rural and Remote NL, provides funding for eligible projects that will help eliminate or reduce homelessness.

At this time, there are no funds remaining for emergency repairs and as such, applications for home repair projects will no longer be accepted.

Applications for the following supports that fall within the project’s scope of eliminating or reducing homelessness are still being accepted:

  • Housing Set-Up: Provides financial assistance at a maximum of $2000 per application. This could include housing or rental start-up such as first and/or last month’s rent as required, damage deposit, and/or utility assistance.
  • Emergency Short-Term Accommodations: can provide for hotel placement at a maximum of 10 nights.

To submit an application for housing set-up or emergency short-term accommodations, please click here.
