The Small Community Homelessness Fund Reporting Template collects essential information from organizations receiving funding to address homelessness. It includes sections on project details, outcomes, community support, reflections on impact, and financial reporting. This information promotes transparency and improves strategies to combat homelessness.

The Small Community Homelessness Fund supports NWT communities, excluding Yellowknife, in addressing homelessness. The fund provides resources for local projects aimed at shelter and support services for individuals facing homelessness. Eligible community partners can access funding to create or enhance these services, helping to meet urgent housing needs. Funding agreements can last up to three years, with a focus on locally-driven initiatives to reduce homelessness.

The Shelter Enhancement Fund Reporting Template is designed to gather essential information from organizations benefiting from funding to enhance shelter facilities. It includes sections on project outcomes, implementation, sustainability, partnerships, and financial reporting. This information is vital for assessing the impact of the project and ensuring transparency.

The Shelter Enhancement Fund provides funding to NWT communities for repairs, rehabilitation, and upgrades to existing shelters. It helps shelter operators improve their facilities or acquire necessary equipment to ensure continued service delivery. This fund supports the physical improvement of shelters but does not cover ongoing operational costs.

Applications must be assessed in-person assessment with the Local Housing Organization to be considered completed/submitted.
