Reaching Home aims to prevent and reduce homelessness across Canada.

This project aims to support a Canadian Red Cross draw-down fund. This fund seeks to allow Canada to rapidly respond to International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) emergency operations following medium-scale humanitarian crises.

With GAC’s support, the Canadian Red Cross Society works to save lives and help reduce the suffering of people affected by the humanitarian crisis through the IFRC. Project activities include: (1) providing timely emergency shelter and essential non-food items to crisis-affected populations; (2) providing emergency healthcare, including mental health and psychosocial support; and (3) providing protection, gender and inclusion services.

This project supports independent third-party monitoring of Canada's 2023 humanitarian assistance funding in Chad, South Sudan and Sudan.
