Grants and Contributions
About this information
In June 2016, as part of the Open Government Action Plan, the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat (TBS) committed to increasing the transparency and usefulness of grants and contribution data and subsequently launched the Guidelines on the Reporting of Grants and Contributions Awards, effective April 1, 2018.
The rules and principles governing government grants and contributions are outlined in the Treasury Board Policy on Transfer Payments. Transfer payments are transfers of money, goods, services or assets made from an appropriation to individuals, organizations or other levels of government, without the federal government directly receiving goods or services in return, but which may require the recipient to provide a report or other information subsequent to receiving payment. These expenditures are reported in the Public Accounts of Canada. The major types of transfer payments are grants, contributions and \'other transfer payments\'.
Included in this category, but not to be reported under proactive disclosure of awards, are (1) transfers to other levels of government such as Equalization payments as well as Canada Health and Social Transfer payments. (2) Grants and contributions reallocated or otherwise redistributed by the recipient to third parties; and (3) information that would normally be withheld under the Access to Information Act and the Privacy Act.

The organization will actively support the goals of the Veteran Homelessness Program by providing targeted rent supplements that increase housing affordability and stability for Veterans experiencing or at risk of homelessness. In addition to financial housing assistance, the organization will deliver comprehensive wrap-around services designed to address the complex and interconnected needs of Veterans. These services will include case management, housing stabilization support, referrals to health and mental health care, employment and income assistance, life-skills development, and connections to community and Veteran-specific resources. By integrating rent assistance with individualized support services, the organization aims to promote long-term housing stability, improve overall well-being, and reduce the risk of future homelessness among Veterans.
