Ottawa signs deals to house homeless in 11 municipalities in Ontario, Saskatchewan

The Federal Government of Canada signed agreements with nine municipalities in Ontario and two in Saskatchewan to combat homelessness, totaling over $91 million for two years.
These agreements aim to enhance shelter spaces and transitional housing options as part of community encampment response plans.
Housing Minister Nathaniel Erskine-Smith indicated that provincial partnerships could not be established in time due to lack of agreement with Ontario and Saskatchewan.
The funding is part of a broader $250 million commitment to address unsheltered homelessness and encampments across Canada.
