Some of these programs can help with capital costs, like buying a mobile outreach unit.

While the funding hasn\u2019t clearly stated that it can be used to pay for vehicles, you could make a case for a mobile outreach unit if it\u2019s tied directly to encampment response in your community.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Provincial funds that support homelessness in Canada<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Each province in Canada has its own approach to funding homelessness programs. Some focus on housing, while others also put money into outreach, health, and emergency support.. Even when a fund doesn\u2019t cover the vehicle itself, it may support the staff and programs that make the vehicle work. Let\u2019s look at what\u2019s happening with homelessness funding across the country. Click on the program name below for more information.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Colombie-Britannique<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">BC has taken some of the biggest steps in responding to homelessness in Canada.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bchousing.org\/housing-assistance\/homelessness-services\/HEART-HEARTH\">HEART &amp; HEARTH programs<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>:<\/strong> These were created to respond to encampments and move people into safer housing. The province announced $44 million in capital funding to expand temporary supportive housing and outreach services. While it doesn\u2019t clearly say \u201cvehicles,\u201d the focus on capital shows BC is open to projects tied to outreach and safety.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sparc.bc.ca\/partnerships\/provincial-homelessness-grants\/\">Homelessness Community Action Grant (SPARC BC)<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>:<\/strong> This grant helps with planning and community-led innovation. But here\u2019s the catch: it does not fund capital items like vehicles. Instead, it\u2019s more about testing new ideas, covering program costs, and building partnerships.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Ontario<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ontario runs one of the largest provincial homelessness funds.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.countyofrenfrew.on.ca\/en\/community-services\/homelessness-prevention-program.aspx\"><b>Homelessness Prevention Program (HPP)<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: This program gives money to regional service managers, who then fund local projects. It can support capital investments in transitional and supportive housing. While most projects are about buildings, there\u2019s potential to connect a vehicle purchase if it directly supports housing outcomes.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/otf.ca\/\"><b>Ontario Trillium Foundation \u2013 Capital Grants<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: OTF\u2019s Capital stream pays for both fixed and non-fixed equipment. A mobile outreach unit can often fall under non-fixed equipment. If you can show how the vehicle supports community impact, this can be a strong option.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Quebec<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Quebec has two main funds that matter here.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.centraide-mtl.org\/en\/emergency-homelessness-assistance-fund\/\"><b>Emergency Homelessness Assistance Fund<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: This fund, often managed with Centraide, provides money to agencies to improve outreach, expand staff, and increase services. It doesn\u2019t buy vehicles directly, but it can pay for the people and programs tied to mobile outreach.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.canada.ca\/en\/housing-infrastructure-communities\/news\/2025\/03\/fighting-homelessness-50-million-in-funding-to-support-205-projects-in-quebec.html\"><b>Funding program to prevent and reduce homelessness<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: This supports local solutions to homelessness, from prevention to direct services. Again, it\u2019s more program-based, but if your project includes a mobile outreach unit, the grant could help cover the staffing and service delivery side.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Alberta<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Alberta offers several streams through its affordable housing and homelessness supports.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.alberta.ca\/indigenous-housing-capital-program\"><b>Indigenous Housing Capital Program<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: This program funds Indigenous-led housing projects and has a strong capital focus. While mainly for buildings, it\u2019s possible to argue for mobile outreach as part of community infrastructure.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Other homelessness supports<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: The province also funds shelters, navigation centres, and outreach services. These funds typically cover staff and program costs. If you have the vehicle from another source, Alberta\u2019s programs can help pay for the work that happens inside it.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Bonus: Homelessness Reduction Innovation Fund (HRIF)<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/caeh.ca\/homelessness-reduction-innovation-fund\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">HRIF<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> supports one-time, data-driven projects that reduce homelessness.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>What it covers<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Outreach, staffing, and system improvements. Smaller capital items, such as renovations, may be allowed.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>How it helps you<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: HRIF won\u2019t usually buy you a van, but it can pay for the programs, staff, or supports that make a mobile outreach unit effective.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Key takeaway<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Across Canada, provincial programs vary in how much they focus on capital versus program costs. Here\u2019s the simple breakdown:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>BC and Ontario<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Most likely to support capital, sometimes including vehicles.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Quebec and Alberta<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Stronger on staff and services, with some chances for capital if tied to housing or Indigenous projects.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The best approach is to mix and match. Use provincial funds for the staff and services, and pair them with federal programs or local grants for the vehicle itself. This way, your mobile outreach unit has both the wheels and the people it needs to make a real impact.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Community grants from non-profits that support homelessness in Canada<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not every funding option has to come from the government. Across Canada, non-profits and foundations also offer grants that can support your work on homelessness in Canada. These grants may not always cover the cost of buying a mobile outreach unit, but they often fund the staff, supplies, or programs that keep it running. In some cases, they can also be used for equipment or capital if you show how it helps your community.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are a few community grants that may help your organization in.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Catherine Donnelly Foundation<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Le <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/catherinedonnellyfoundation.org\/our-work\/housing\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Catherine Donnelly Foundation<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> funds projects that focus on housing, civic engagement, and social change.
