The Orange Door Project Grant program will consider applications from Canadian registered charities who are dedicated to preventing and ending youth homelessness in Canada through renovation, prevention, and employment/life skills programs. The Orange Door Project Grant provides grants of up to $50,000.

Renovations: repairs, refurbishments and/or modifications to a housing accommodation or other support facility that benefits homeless youth

Prevention: programs that reduce the likelihood that youth will experience homelessness. Alternatively, programs that support youth who have been homeless that allow them to stabilize their housing, enhance integration and social inclusion and reduce their risk of recurring homelessness. The program to which you are applying for funding must address one of the following:

Early intervention support to help young people (and their families) who are at risk of homelessness

Support to ensure young people transitioning from child protection services, foster care and/or group homes corrections or healthcare avoid homelessness

Sustainable support for young people exiting homelessness that focuses on health, well-being, and social inclusion

Employment/Life Skills: Programs that focus on critical supportive services with an emphasis on job readiness and employment programs

The deadline to apply is February 22, 2021.
