In the Saguenay region, the Government of Canada is helping families and individuals who are trying to break out of the cycles of poverty and homelessness and build a better future for themselves.
The Honourable Jean-Pierre Blackburn, Minister of Labour and Minister of the Economic Development Agency of Canada for the Regions of Quebec, on behalf of the Honourable Monte Solberg, Minister of Human Resources and Social Development, today announced over $1 million in funding for nine projects by community organizations in the Saguenay region to better address the needs of people in crisis and at risk of becoming homeless. These projects are being funded under the Homelessness Partnership Initiative (HPI), the cornerstone of the Homelessness Partnering Strategy (HPS).
