Flexible Housing Subsidy Pool
The goal of the Flexible Housing Subsidy Pool is to secure quality affordable housing for vulnerable people who are experiencing homelessness. This funding has a narrow focus which is to remove the final financial barrier for a client to be housed or to meet Housing Quality Standards. It provides the missing piece they need to get them across the finish line.
