On April 13, 2017 the Métis Nation of Ontario (MNO) and the Canadian Government identified homelessness as a priority in the Canada-Métis Nation Accord and committed to co-developing a Homelessness Partnering Strategy to address the specific needs of Métis people in Ontario. The Canada-Métis Nation Homelessness Accord signed on June 13, 2019 reaffirmed the support of the federal government in the development of long term homelessness solutions and an integrated support system for MNO citizens.
The Métis Housing Stabilization Program is funded through Reaching Home, a federal government program that is part of the Canadian Homelessness Strategy. The program is designed to address the growing issue of homelessness and housing instability by providing housing loss prevention and housing stabilization services. It supports individuals and families who are homeless, at immediate risk of becoming homeless, or in an unstable housing situation.
