Link to the department's Program Inventory	Homelessness Funding Oversight
Purpose and objectives of transfer payment program	Reaching Home: Canada’s Homelessness Strategy supports community-based responses to prevent and reduce homelessness across Canada. Communities and service providers receive grants and contributions funding to support services targeted to individuals and families who are experiencing or at risk of homelessness in urban centres, rural and remote communities and the territories. This includes targeted supports to address homelessness among Indigenous peoples. Reaching Home helps communities address local homelessness priorities using a more systems-based and data-driven approach. Communities must report publicly on community-wide outcomes. The program also collects and analyzes national homelessness data, and shares knowledge with communities, partners and stakeholders. Federally-funded projects, and federal leadership that fosters transformation of the sector, together promote the prevention and reduction of homelessness in Canada. The Government of Canada is one of many funding partners to help address homelessness, and performance indicators and expected results are impacted by multiple factors. The program is a transfer payment program with non-repayable grants and contributions; however, some repayment clauses are outlined in the Reaching Home Terms and Conditions.
Results achieved	The COVID-19 pandemic and ongoing economic pressures have exacerbated homelessness, including chronic homelessness, in Canada. For example, between 2016 and 2021, the estimated number of shelter users experiencing chronic homelessness has increased by 6.6%. Reaching Home provides funding and support to help address and prevent homelessness. In 2022-23, The program funded projects that helped place 12,483 people in more stable housing. Of those placed in more stable housing, 12 months later, 79% of people contacted remained housed or successfully exited the program. As homelessness is a shared responsibility, the Government of Canada does not have sole jurisdiction and attribution is distributed across a range of stakeholders, community service providers, and other orders of government. The Government continues to expand its collaboration with provincial and territorial counterparts through bilateral and multilateral fora to advance better coordination and alignment on homelessness.
Findings of audits completed in 2022-23	No audit was completed during the reporting year.
Findings of evaluations completed in 2022-23	An evaluation is underway with expected publication in 2023-24.
Engagement of applicants and recipients in 2022-23	The program continued to work closely with stakeholders and community partners, provinces and territories, Indigenous governments and organizations, the not-for-profit sector and the private sector. Overall, engagement focused on the following in 2022-23: The evolving needs of the homeless-serving sector as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and inflationary pressures; Additional investments in Reaching Home provided through Budget 2021; Research about further measures that could contribute to achieving the Government of Canada’s commitment to end chronic homelessness by 2030; Developing and delivering training and support on program requirements, including implementation of Coordinated Access, a Homelessness Management Information System and an outcomes-based approach, as well as submission by recipients of annual reports reflecting on Coordinated Access and outcomes-based approach implementation progress (e.g., Community Homelessness Reports); Grant agreements for projects and activities to address homelessness in place with 17 Self-Governing First Nations and four Inuit regions; and, Strengthening and deepening relationships with Indigenous partners in support of program implementation. Over the course of 2022-23, additional guidance was provided related to Reaching Home implementation, to clarify the program requirements and help communities to self-assess their progress. This included new guidance and training provided through the 2021-22 and 2022-23 Community Homelessness Report cycles, for relevant communities. Additionally, to support each community with their implementation of Coordinated Access, the department: Met with each community in fall 2022; Ensured each community had an action plan in place by December 31, 2022; Hosted subsequent meetings with communities to provide support and technical assistance for Coordinated Access implementation; and, Encouraged communities to work with the Canadian Alliance to End Homelessness to help them move forward with their plan to meet the minimum requirements.

P3 Canada Fund (P3CF)

Start date	2009-10
End date	2022-23^{Footnote 16}
Type of transfer payment	Contribution
Type of appropriation	Special Purpose Allotment
Fiscal year for terms and conditions	2017-18
Link to departmental result(s)	3.1: Investments are delivered with appropriate stewardship
Link to the department's Program Inventory	Alternative Financing Oversight
Purpose and objectives of transfer payment program	The P3 Canada Fund was created at PPP Canada, a Crown corporation, to advance the public-private partnership procurement (P3) model by provinces, territories, municipalities and First Nations in Canada. In 2017-18, PPP Canada was dissolved and the P3 Canada Fund became a special purpose allotment in Infrastructure Canada's Vote 10. Twenty-four legacy projects were transferred to Infrastructure Canada, which has the mandate to manage the agreements created under the P3 Canada Fund. Of which, payments are still expected for two remaining projects.
Results achieved	The P3 Canada Fund projects continue to provide benefits to Canadians through the delivery of safe drinking water, clean waste water, maintained roads and bridges and reliable public transit. The Department continues to work with provinces and territories, for example, the Department worked with a fund recipient that experienced delays on its LRT project. The Department visited the project team to better understand the issues facing the project and lessons learned for future projects. The insights have been shared with colleagues in the Department engaged on the development of next generation transit funding. In 2022-23 the Department continued to support P3 Canada Fund recipients, collected annual reports and monitored those projects still in construction. These projects are expected to be completed in the 2023-24 fiscal year. The Department also undertook a combined internal audit and evaluation.
Findings of audits completed in 2022-23	In 2022-23 the Department undertook a combined internal audit and evaluation of the P3 Canada Fund (P3CF). It was found that: P3CF has elements of an effective long-term project management framework in place to support the successful delivery of the 24 legacy projects inherited by INFC following the dissolution of PPP Canada Inc. P3CF is aligned with the Government of Canada's priorities, supported municipalities, provinces and territories in meeting their needs, and has made progress towards achieving its objectives. In support of the audit results, the Department will continue to work on the following recommendations in 2023-24: document a complete risk-based forward-looking management control framework, incorporating existing documented processes (e.g., Program Overview and Standard Operating Procedures), and in collaboration with the Grants & Contributions Centre of Expertise, Corporate Services Branch, re-evaluate the program risks and include the following key elements document and implement a performance measurement strategy that aligns to the existing program structure and available financial and performance information, given the requirements of the FA. This will enable effective long-term results tracking and reporting on P3CF 's projects over the full monitoring period.
Findings of evaluations completed in 2022-23	A joint Audit and Evaluation was completed in 2022-23. The engagement found that: The P3CF is aligned with the Government of Canada's priorities, supported municipalities, provinces and territories in meeting their needs, and has made progress towards achieving its objectives
Engagement of applicants and recipients in 2022-23	As mentioned previously, the Department worked with a fund recipient that experienced delays on its LRT project. INFC officials directly engaged the project team to better understand the issues facing the project and lessons learned for future projects. The insights have been shared broadly and will be used to inform the development of next generation transit funding. The Department will continue to work with provinces and territories to support P3 Canada Fund applicants and recipients by continuing to collect annual reports and monitor projects under construction. The Department will continue to support the 2022-23 audit recommendations as noted above and report on its results in the 2023-24 fiscal year. Additionally, INFC worked with P3 Canada Fund recipients on the impacts of COVID-19 on projects in both construction and operations. Project recipients were regularly engaged by INFC in order to gather intelligence on project status during the pandemic and lessons learned from the P3 approach.

Fiscal year for terms and conditions	2021-22
Link to departmental result(s)	3.1: Investments are delivered with appropriate stewardship
Link to the department's Program Inventory	Allocation-Based and Direct Funding Stewardship
Purpose and objectives of transfer payment program	The Canada Healthy Communities Initiative (CHCI) is a COVID-19 response initiative that will provide up to $61.28 million in contribution funding over five years to Community Foundations of Canada (CFC), a not-for-profit organization selected through an open and transparent call for applications. CFC is working directly with communities to identify and fund local projects that can be put into place quickly to improve the lives of Canadians. Municipalities, local governments, and Indigenous communities as well as not-for-profit community partners were able to apply directly to the CFC with their project proposals. The Initiative helps communities by supporting innovative ideas for small-scale, community-led infrastructure projects across Canada. Local projects must be infrastructure-related and must respond directly to needs arising directly from COVID-19, by creating safer and more vibrant public spaces, improving mobility options and enabling digital solutions.
Results achieved	In 2022-23, the CHCI provided up to $30 million in federal funding to support and additional 401 projects, which brings the total number of projects to 1,060 across Canada. Of the three funding streams, Creating Safe and Vibrant Public Spaces received the highest number of applications and largest amount of funded projects (64.9%), followed by Digital Solutions (27.6%) and Improving Mobility Options (7.4%). People experiencing low income or living in poverty, persons with disabilities, and newcomers are amongst the most served communities.
Findings of audits completed in 2022-23	No audit was completed during the reporting year.
Findings of evaluations completed in 2022-23	No evaluation was completed during the reporting year.
Engagement of applicants and recipients in 2022-23	CFC engaged with applicants and recipients through online awareness raising events, one-on-one applicant support, selection of recipients, funding agreements, and ultimate recipient reporting
