Canada's Homelessness Strategy during COVID-19

Due to the increased risk posed by COVID-19 on homeless Canadians and those at risk of homelessness in Canada, the federal government announced a $157.5 million investment into the Reaching Home: Canada's Homelessness Strategy.
This policy is intended to limit COVID-19's impact on this vulnerable population and as a result, new flexibilities to the program have been introduced.
