Rainy River District Social Services Administration Board 2007 Consolidated Homelessness Prevention Program (chpp) budget. The Consolidated Homelessness Prevention Program (CHPP) formerly the Provincial Homelessness Fund (PHIF), a Ministry of Community and Social Services initiative, provides 100% funding to municipalities and District Social Services Administration Boards (DSSABs) to support the development of innovative new approaches to addressing homelessness in their communities. The fund has three clear goals:
  • To improve access to and connect households that are homeless with the system of community services;
  • to support households experiencing homelessness to obtain and keep longer-term housing; and,
  • to assist households at-risk of homelessness to retain housing.
The 2006 budget for the CHPP was $62,416. Funding was provided to District Food Banks, Homelessness Prevention Programs and a Supportive Housing Program. In 2006, 93 households at imminent risk and 1053 households at risk of homelessness have been served for a combined total of households accessing homelessness supports 1146 times.
