The Government of Canada is seeking new partners to help tackle homelessness in Saskatchewan. The announcement was made today by Dr. Kellie Leitch, Parliamentary Secretary to the Honourable Diane Finley, Minister of Human Resources and Skills Development.

“Our government is giving a hand‑up to Canadians with housing needs and is helping to break the cycle of homelessness and poverty,” said Dr. Leitch. “We are proud to support organizations that are committed to addressing housing and homelessness issues in their communities.”
