The Ford government is providing an additional $2.9 million to a Toronto not-profit to bolster efforts to prevent Indigenous homelessness.
PC MPP Kevin Holland, the parliamentary secretary to the Indigenous affairs minister, on Tuesday said the province was awarding the funding to Miziwe Biik Development Corporation as part of a total $10.4 annual haul. The funding comes from the government’s Indigenous Supportive Housing Program (ISHP).
Holland said the funding would help the MBDC deliver “meaningful resources to the Greater Toronto area's most vulnerable, so more people have an affordable and most importantly, a safe place to call home in Ontario.”
