The Manitoba Non-Profit Housing Association is getting more than $2.5 million in provincial funding for projects to help Winnipeggers who are homeless, or at risk of becoming homeless, get stable housing and wraparound services.
The funding, announced by the province Tuesday, will go toward providing stable housing and services for 250 individuals. Those services could include addictions treatment, mental health treatment, emergency meal services, reconnections to family and other social supports, and referrals for education upgrades or employment.
