Mr. Chairman, this is a program where we invite communities to make applications for funding, up to $10,000 under Homelessness Support Projects, or $40,000 under Emergency Shelter Options — under Emergency Shelter Options, small projects under $40,000 to provide emergency shelter for adults; under Homelessness Support Projects, under $10,000 to address community homelessness issues. What we look for in projects is a demonstration of creative use of existing community resources, buildings and skills, and integrated partnerships to extend the impact and use of the limited funding. Some of the organizations that received the funding in the past, in ’07 and ’08, are Deh Gah Gotie Dene Council in Fort Providence in both categories — one for $40,000 and one for $10,000; Acho Dene Koe First Nation in Fort Liard; an Aklavik Indian band; Zhahti Koe Friendship Centre in Fort Providence; Katlodeeche First Nation in Hay River Reserve; and Pehdzeh Ki First Nation in Wrigley. In my visits there, they told me these were very helpful to them.
